A fuel cell assembly 1 has a fuel cell with a membrane electrode assembly disposed between an anode fluid flow plate and a cathode fluid flow plate. The cathode flow plate defines a flow channel for conveying oxidant to the membrane electrode assembly. The flow channel has an inlet and an outlet. A plasma discharge fan 20 is configured to generate air flow into the inlet. The plasma discharge fan may also be configured to generate ozone flow into the inlet, thereby enhancing the electrochemical reaction at the cathode side of the membrane electrode assembly. A plurality of the fuel cells may be configured in a stack arrangement, whereby the inlets for the plurality of fuel cells in the stack form an air inlet face 4 of the fuel cell stack. The plasma discharge fan 20 may comprise a plate structure disposed over the stack air inlet face 4, being configured to deliver a generally uniform air flow into the stack air inlet face over substantially its entire area. |
