Abstract: The present invention relates to a flow field plate of a fuel cell with airflow guiding gaskets, comprising a flat plate and airflow guiding gaskets. Each side of the flat plate has a reaction area, which includes a plurality of ribs and a plurality of grooves. Two airflow guiding gasket are respectively covered on the two sides of the flat plate, and a central hollowed region of each airflow guiding gasket is corresponding to the reaction area. An inlet hole of the flat plate communicates with the hollowed region and each inlet of the grooves through an inlet trough of the airflow guiding gasket. An outlet hole of the flat plate communicates with the hollowed region and each outlet of the grooves through an outlet trough of the airflow guiding gasket. Thus, the present invention is capable of significantly reducing the volume of the fuel cell and lowering the weight.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel cell system and a method for operating the same. The method of the present invention includes: igniting a fuel by an ignition element to generate flames to allow the fuel to carry out an exothermic combustion reaction in a burner, and introducing a reforming reaction material into an evaporator to vaporize the reforming reaction material; transmitting heat generated from the exothermic combustion reaction to a reactor, and introducing the vaporized reforming reaction material into the reactor to perform a reforming reaction and generate hydrogen gas; and introducing the hydrogen gas into a fuel cell stack member to generate electricity. Accordingly, the fuel cell system and the method for operating the same provided by the present invention can reduce start-up time and avoid the additional consumption of electricity.
