METHOD OF SERIES/PARALLEL FORMATION OF FUEL CELL UNIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of series/parallel formation of a fuel cell unit. SOLUTION: At a first step 101, it mainly provides a cathode substrate, an anode substrate and at least one membrane electrode group. At a second step 103, it sets at least one cathode current collection line and at least one first electric contact on the same surface of the cathode substrate. The cathode current collection line corresponds to the cathode end of each membrane electrode group. At a third step 105, at least one anode current collection line and at least one cathode current collection line are formed on the same surface of the anode substrate. The each anode current collection line corresponds to the anode end of each membrane electrode group. At a fourth step 107, a cathode current collection board, the membrane electrode group, and the anode current collection board are laminated in a laminated manner, and a single strip structure is formed. Each first electrical contact is brought into contact with, corresponding second electric contact, and conducted. The fuel cell unit is electrically connected in series/parallel with a separate fuel cell unit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
