FLOW FIELDS FOR USE WITH AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

摘要

A flow field for use in an electrochemical cell is disclosed. The flow field includes a porous metallic structure including an inlet port and an outlet port. The flow field further includes a plurality of first channels formed in the structure. Each of the plurality of first channels extends from a first proximal end in fluid communication with the inlet port and terminates at a first distal end within the structure. The flow field also includes a plurality of second channels formed in the structure. Each of the plurality of second channels extends from a second distal end in fluid communication with an outlet port and terminates at a second proximal end within the structure.
