摘要: A proton exchange membrane (PEM)-type fuel cell is formed from layered undulate MEA structures and separator plates (20) alternating with each other in the stack dimension so that structure disposed between attached to an associated pair of as form at least one discrete conduit on side through which reactant gas may be circulated. Each material sandwiched a spaced-apart current collectors electro-catalyst particles collector fill space collectors, forming together structure. plate non-conductive substrate (21) overlaid surface by selected pattern conductive paths (36, 37), being connected vias substrate, (22, 24) either plate.
