A plate for use in a cell stack (160), the plate (100,120) being formed of a polymeric plastic material e.g. acrylonitrilie butadiene styrene , with electrically conducting elements (112, 116, 128) embedded in the plastic material. The electrically conducting elements may be of metal e.g. nickel or stainless steel, and they provide at least part of an electrical conduction path for electric current within or from the cell stack (160). The plate may be a bipolar plate (100) or a polar plate (120). This provides a cheaper and lighter structure than using metal plates. |
