The basic module has a large functional surface area compared with its relatively small global surface area. It is composed mainly of a multitude of micro-volumes ( 10, 110 ) installed in a closed space between a lower border ( 1 ), upper border ( 2 ) and side border ( 3 ). Each micro-volume wall is covered with a layer forming the membrane/electrodes basic element. Circulation of a first reactant to pass inside each micro-volume ( 10, 110 ) is enabled, whereas circulation of a second reactant to pass inside each micro-volume ( 10, 110 ) is enabled. The space between the micro-volumes ( 10, 110 ) may possibly be filled in with a porous material to stiffen the assembly. Applications for small sized fuel cells.
