A fuel cell of the present invention includes a stack structure composed
by stacking a plurality of solid oxide fuel cell units with current
collectors. Each of the fuel cell unit includes: a cell plate which holds
at least one cell and has a gas introduction hole for one of fuel gas and
air in a center portion thereof; and a separator plate which has a gas
introduction hole for the one of the fuel gas and the air in a center
portion thereof and makes an outer peripheral edge thereof entirely
bonded to an outer peripheral edge of the cell plate. The fuel cell
further includes a casing which houses the stack structure, includes a
gas introduction portion and a gas discharge portion, and introduces the
other of the fuel gas and the air thereinto from the gas introduction
portion and flows the other gas to the gas discharge portion. The fuel
cell further includes a gas flow-regulating member provided in a gap
between the casing and the stack structure in order to flow the other gas
to the gas discharge portion through the current collectors located
between the fuel cell units.
