Abstract:
A fuel cell including a pair of connectors (12, 13); a single cell (20) having an electrolyte layer (2) and electrode layers (14, 15); and current-collecting members (18, 19) disposed between the electrode layers and the connectors, respectively. The current-collecting members (19) corresponding to at least the one electrode layer (15) has connector contact portions (19a) in contact with connector (13), cell contact portions (19b) in contact with electrode layer (15), connection portions (19c) connecting corresponding connector contact portions (19a) and cell contact portions (19b), and a spacer (58) disposed between connector contact portions (19a) and cell contact portion (19b). An end of the spacer (58) located opposite the connection portions (19c) protrudes from at least the ends of the cell contact portions (19b) located opposite the connection portions (19c) or the ends of the connector contact portions (19a) located opposite the connection portions (19c).
