Abstract

A separator for a fuel cell, which is stacked on a gas diffusion layer provided on a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), includes a plate body stacked on the gas diffusion layer and including a flow path part to define a reaction region to react with the membrane electrode assembly and manifold parts spaced apart from the flow path part; through-holes disposed in the plate body to guide target fluids that have passed through the manifold parts to the flow path part; and hole caps disposed on one surface of the plate body that faces the gas diffusion layer to at least partially cover the through-holes, the hole caps defining movement paths through which the target fluids move.
