Abstract
A fuel cell includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode on one surface of the electrolyte membrane and having an anode catalyst layer that is supplied with fuel and contains a platinum-ruthenium alloy catalyst, and a cathode on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane and having an cathode catalyst layer that is supplied with air and contains a platinum catalyst. The anode catalyst layer and the cathode catalyst layer include divided catalyst segments, and gaps between the divided catalyst segments that are adjacent to each other.
