PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a reaction apparatus, particularly a multilayer reaction apparatus. SOLUTION: A reaction apparatus 2 is composed of an upper lid material 21, a lower lid material 22 and a laminate 23 held between the upper lid material 21 and the lower lid material 22. The laminate 23 is formed by layering members 31-43. A part formed by layering the members 31-33 in the laminate 23 becomes a base and this base has a broad part 25c, a broad part 25b and a constricted part 25e. The broad part 25c is loaded with a reformer 6 and the broad part 25b is loaded with a carbon monoxide remover 7. The reformer 6 is obtained by alternately layering frame parts and perforated plates of the members 34-37 and the carbon monoxide remover 7 is also obtained by alternately layering the frame parts and perforated plates.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve reduction of a pressure loss of a flow passage in a power generation cell, downsizing of a fuel battery cell as well as a fuel cell stack, and downsizing of a fuel cell device as well as an electronic apparatus equipped therewith. SOLUTION: The fuel cell 8 includes a unit cell 80 in which a fuel electrode 82 is formed on one face of an electrolyte 81 while an oxygen electrode 83 is formed on the other face of the electrolyte, a fuel electrode separator 84 which is arranged on the fuel electrode 82 side and in which a fuel supply flow passage 86 to supply the fuel gas to the fuel electrode 82 is formed, and an oxygen electrode separator 85 which is arranged on the oxygen electrode 83 side and in which an oxygen supply flow passage 87 to supply oxygen to the oxygen electrode 83 is formed. Since at least either the fuel supply flow passage 86 or the oxygen supply flow passage 87 is nearly rectangular, a pressure loss of the flow passage in the power generation cell can be reduced. Moreover, since it is in line symmetry to a line segment connecting an inflow part and an outflow part of gas or point symmetry to the midpoint of the line segment, fuel and oxygen in the air can be supplied uniformly as a whole.
