Fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric, electrode element, fuel cell mobile unit, and production method for fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric

摘要

A fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric, especially a carbon fiber woven fabric preferably used for the electrode diffusion layer of an electrode element in a fuel cell. The electrode diffusion layer of an electrode element in a fuel cell, requiring conductivity, gas diffusing/permeating features, and strength that withstands handling, is formed from carbon fiber woven fabrics as is widely known. The conventional carbon fiber woven fabric poses such problems that deformation by compression is large, the dimension of a fuel cell is significantly changed by pressurizing, irregularities by weave texture are large, and contact resistance is large. A carbon fiber woven fabric used for a fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric has an average size of warps and wefts constituting the woven fabric of 0.005-0.028 g/m, and a woven density of the warps and/or wefts of 20 pieces/cm.
