The invention discloses a steam supply passive type direct methanol fuel cell with catalytic combustion type heat supplying. The steam supply passive type direct methanol fuel cell comprises a cell reaction unit and a porous sintering plate in the cell reaction unit, wherein the cell reaction unit is sequentially connected with a steam supplying unit, a pervaporation membrane, a catalytic combustion heat supplying unit, an oxygen buffering unit, a raw material catalytic combustion unit and a sealing bottom cover. A catalytic combustion method is adopted for supplying heat to the steam supply passive type direct methanol fuel cell, the catalytic combustion has the characteristics of high energy, high efficiency, high reaction rate, and the like, and the reaction is easily controlled, reaction heat energy provides energy for the methanol phase change, high-temperature methanol fuel is provided for cell discharge, and further the output power of the cell is increased; meanwhile, the recycling of a catalytic combustion product ensures that pure methanol can be possibly supplied to cell reaction, and thus the energy density of the cell is greatly increased, and the stable long-term operation of the cell is favorably realized.
