A separator for a low-temperature fuel cell comprises a stainless steel
substrate S having a surface to which carbonaceous particles such as
graphite particles GP or carbon black aggregates CA adhere with dotted
distribution. The carbonaceous particles are preferably bonded through a
diffusion layer DL to the surface of the substrate S. The carbonaceous
particle-dispersed layer may be a plating layer in which graphite
particles GP or carbon black aggregates CA are dispersed or formed by
thermal decomposition of organic components in a carbonaceous
particle-dispersed paint applied to the surface of the substrate S. Since
carbonaceous particles free from oxide films adhere to the surface of the
acid-resistant stainless steel substrate S, contact resistance of the
separator is sufficiently low. Consequently, a power generator having a
plurality of fuel cells laminated together exhibits high power-generating
efficiency with less heat loss caused by a Joule heat.
