<p>Electrode plates having a plurality of open-faced channels formed in at least one surface thereof are provided. The inventive electrode plates, which are contemplated for use in a variety of fuel cell types, preferably serve to increase the degree and rate of heat transfer within a fuel cell, thereby extending the cell's practical operating range and useful life. High performance fuel cells and fuel cell stacks constructed of these inventive electrode plates are also provided, as well as, acid fuel cells employing (i) an absorptive separator that absorbs and retains an acid or mixed acid electrolyte, or (ii) a non-absorptive separator that retains an acid or mixed acid gel electrolyte.</p> |
