Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A separator for a fuel cell includes a metal separator (metal substrate) having projections formed by ribs, and porous members provided in a plurality of flow passages partitioned by the projections, in which a hydrophilic portion is provided in a center part of a cross section orthogonal to a flow direction in the porous member, and a water repellent portion is provided in at least a part of portions in contact with wall surfaces of the flow passage within a range of the cross section. According to the present invention, the mixed phase flow in which the reaction gas and the cooling water inside the flow passages are mixed can be made an even flow in the separator in which the porous members are provided in the gas flow passages.
