According to the invention, in a separator molded member (4A) for
a fuel cell which is produced by: loading a complex compound that is configured
by bonding graphite powder by means of a thermosetting resin, into a mold (14);
and forming ribs (11) for forming gas passages by the resin molding process,
the surfaces of the ribs (11) are alkali-treated by, for example, etching
by using an alkaline solution, and graphite particles (14) which are flat
and soft are exposed from the top surfaces of the ribs (11) which function
as a contact surface with an electrode in the separator molded member (4A),
and resin defective portions (15) are formed between adjacent graphite particles
(14), whereby the contact area with an electrode is enlarged, so that the
performance and efficiency of the fuel cell can be improved by remarkable lowering
of the contact resistance.
