A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly and first and second separators
in the form of meal plates for sandwiching the membrane electrode assembly. An
anode of the membrane electrode assembly has a gas diffusion layer, and a cathode
of the membrane electrode assembly has a gas diffusion layer. Each of the gas diffusion
layers includes a foamed member made of metal material such as stainless steel.
Resinous flow field walls are provided in the foamed member by impregnation for
forming a reactant gas flow field.
