In a MEA (membrane electrode assembly) of a fuel cell including an
electrolyte membrane as an ion transfer medium arranged between a bipolar
plate having a fuel side open groove in which fuel flows and a bipolar
plate having an air side open groove in which air flows so as to form a
fuel path with the fuel side open groove and form an air path with the
air side open groove; and a catalyst electrode inserted into the fuel
side open groove so as to be separated from the electrolyte membrane in
order to form a fuel path with both sides thereof and induce
electrochemical oxidation with the fuel, by activating action occurred on
the fuel electrode in which fuel is supplied and the air electrode in
which air is supplied, current generating efficiency can be improved.
