A fuel cell (100) which has an electrode-electrolyte joined article (101)
composed of a fuel electrode (102), an oxidizing agent electrode (108)
and, sandwiched thereby, a solid polymer electrolyte (114), characterized
in that a separation film (330) comprising a material exhibiting an
oxygen/nitrogen separation factor of more than 1 is provided on the
surface of an oxidizing agent electrode side current collector (110)
constituting the oxidizing agent electrode (108). The fuel cell is a
liquid fuel supply type of fuel cell which has a simple structure and
also is capable of supplying satisfactory oxygen to an oxidizing agent
electrode.
