BRENNSTOFFZELLE, IN DEM EIN FLUID IM WESENTLICHEN PARALLEL ZU DER ELEKTROLYTISCHEN MEMBRAN ZIRKULIERT UND VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINER SOLCHEN BRENNSTOFFZELLE

摘要

A fuel cell comprises a substrate supporting an electrolytic membrane (4) having first and second surfaces carrying first and second electrodes. The electrodes respectively include first and second catalytic elements and circulation systems for feeding first and second fluids in the proximity of the catalytic elements. The circulation systems are conceived in a manner to make the first fluid circulate essentially parallel to the first surface of the electrolytic membrane in a cavity formed in the substrate. An independent claim is also included for the fabrication of this fuel cell.
