Problems solved by technology

However, these techniques cannot be said to be sufficient. In addition, compared with hydrogen fuel, the fuel diffusion of methanol liquid fuel is extremely slow, and the fuel penetration is extremely large. Therefore, these results are difficult to apply to DMFC.

Description

[0001] This application is based on and claims priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-129841 filed on April 26, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. technical field [0002] The invention relates to an anode of a solid polymer fuel cell for liquid fuel, a membrane electrode assembly for a solid polymer fuel cell for liquid fuel, and a solid polymer fuel cell for liquid fuel. Background technique [0003] A fuel cell is a device in which fuel such as hydrogen or methanol is electrochemically oxidized in the battery, thereby directly converting the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy and taking out the electrical energy. Unlike thermal power generation, this fuel cell does not generate NO from the combustion of fuel X and SO X and other substances, so it has attracted much attention as a clean power supply source. In particular, the direct methanol solid polymer fuel cell (DMFC), compa...
