Abstract: Separators (5A, 5B, 6) and membrane-electrode assemblies (2) of a fuel cell stack (1) are alternately stacked in a guide box (40). The separators (5A, 5B, 6) each have groove-like gas paths (10A, 10B). Powder of an adhesive agent (7) is adhered in advance to the surfaces of the separators (5A, 5B, 6), except the gas paths (10A, 10B), through photosensitive drums (31A, 31B) to which the powder is adsorbed in a given pattern. The separators (5A, 5B, 6) and the membrane-electrode assemblies (2), stacked in the guide box (40), are heated and compressed by a press (43) and heaters (40C) to obtain a unitized fuel cell stack (1).

Abstract: It is used a substrate main body 1 having a side face 1b and a pair of main faces 1a and an underlying film 2 of a single crystal of a nitride of a metal belonging to the group III formed at least on one main face of the substrate main body 1. A single crystal 3 of a nitride of a metal belonging to the group III is grown on the main face 1a of the substrate main body 1 by a liquid phase process. The underlying film 2 has a shape of a convex figure in a plan view. A surface 4 without the underlying film thereon surrounds the entire circumference of the underlying film 2. The single crystal 3 of a nitride of a metal belonging to the group III grown on the underlying film 2 is not brought into contact with a single crystal of a nitride of a metal belonging to group III formed on another underlying film.

Abstract: This invention relates to a manufacturing method for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell which is formed by laminating a first gas diffusion layer (6A) and a first separator (7A) on one surface of a membrane electrode assembly (9), and laminating a second gas diffusion layer (6B) and a second separator (7B) on the other surface of the membrane electrode assembly (9). An adhesive is applied to a surface of the first separator (7A) which contacts the first gas diffusion layer (6A), the adhesive is applied to a surface of the second separator (7B) which contacts the second gas diffusion layer (6B), and the first separator (7A), first gas diffusion layer (6A), membrane electrode assembly (9), second gas diffusion layer (6B), and second separator (7B) are disposed between a pair of pressing jigs (113, 123) so as to be laminated in the described sequence. An integrated fuel cell is obtained by applying heat and compression to the first separator (7A) and second separator (7B) using the pressing jigs (113, 123).
