A fuel cell is provided which can enhance the CO resistance to thereby
improve the voltage characteristics thereof. A fuel cell includes an
electrolyte layer, a first electrode provided on one surface of the
electrolyte layer, and a second electrode provided on the other surface
of the electrolyte layer. In this fuel cell, a reaction fluid to be
supplied to the first electrode contains carbon monoxide or carbon
monoxide is generated from a reaction fluid having been supplied to the
first electrode. The first electrode of the fuel cell includes a first
catalyst material (Pt) having a function of extracting an electron from
the reaction fluid, a second catalyst material (WAu) having a function of
reducing the activation energy for conversion of carbon monoxide to
carbon dioxide, and an oxygen-supplying material (Ru) supplying oxygen.
