Abstract
According to the present invention, electrolyte membrane electrode structures have a staggered arrangement wherein a part of an anode electrode faces a part of one of two adjacent cathode electrodes, with an electrolyte membrane being interposed therebetween, and another part of the anode electrode faces a part of the other cathode electrode, with an interconnect part being interposed therebetween, said interconnect part being formed in the electrolyte membrane. A fuel cell according to the present invention is additionally provided with a fuel gas supply layer that is provided with a fuel gas supply path in which a fuel gas to be supplied to the anode electrode flows. A wall part between fuel gas supply paths in the fuel gas supply layer is superposed on the interconnect part, with the anode electrode being interposed therebetween.
