Direct internal reforming system molten carbonate type fuel cell

PURPOSE: To provide a direct internal reforming system molten carbonate type fuel cell which can suppress the deterioration of a reforming catalyst and prolong the lifetime. CONSTITUTION: The anode side spacers 11, 11 are fixed on both sides of the top surface of a gas separation plate 6 along the flow direction of raw material gas in a direct internal reforming system molten carbonate type fuel cell arranging a reforming catalyst 9 inside the cell. This anode side spacer 11 consists of an electrolyte absorption part 11a consisting of a porous sintered body of plate-shaped Al 2 O 3 as an electrolyte absorbing agent, and a stainless steel part 11b for preventing the electrolyte from entering from the manifold side provided on both ends of an electrolyte absorption part 11a.
