Abstract

A fuel cell system with reduced volume through decreasing the thickness of a stack comprises: a stack which comprises a plurality of membrane electrode assemblies stacked so that the cathode electrodes face each other and the anode electrodes face each other, and separators that are interposed between the membrane electrode assemblies, and which have a flow path passing through from a first face to a second face on a region corresponding to a region where each cathode electrode or anode electrode is formed.
