Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided are a fuel cell and a fuel cell system capable of suppressing deterioration of the electrolyte membrane by iron-based foreign substances with a simple structure. The fuel cell includes: a MEGA and a nitrate compound, wherein the MEGA has an electrolyte membrane, an anode catalyst layer disposed on one surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode catalyst layer disposed on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane, an anode gas diffusion layer disposed on a surface of the anode catalyst layer which is opposite to a surface of the anode catalyst layer on the electrolyte membrane side, and a cathode gas diffusion layer disposed on a surface of the cathode catalyst layer which is opposite to a surface of the cathode catalyst layer on the electrolyte membrane side, and wherein the nitrate compound is disposed in the MEGA.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A fuel cell comprising a MEGA and a nitrate compound, wherein the MEGA has an electrolyte membrane, an anode catalyst layer disposed on one surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode catalyst layer disposed on another surface of the electrolyte membrane, an anode gas diffusion layer disposed on a surface of the anode catalyst layer, the surface being opposite to a surface of the anode catalyst layer on the electrolyte membrane side, and a cathode gas diffusion layer disposed on a surface of the cathode catalyst layer, the surface being opposite to a surface of the cathode catalyst layer on the electrolyte membrane side, and wherein the nitrate compound is disposed in the MEGA. 2 . The fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrate compound comprises at least one cation of Ce ions, Ag ions, and Co ions. 3 . The fuel cell according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrate compound is disposed in at least one place selected from the anode catalyst layer, the cathode catalyst layer, between the anode catalyst layer and the anode gas diffusion layer, and between the cathode catalyst layer and the cathode gas diffusion layer. 4 . A fuel cell system comprising: the fuel cell according to claim 1 ; a fuel gas supply means for supplying a fuel gas to the fuel cell; and an oxidant gas supply means for supplying an oxidant gas to the fuel cell.
