Abstract

See full text

. Cell frames are placed in peripheral contact with the metal screen and the compression pad for peripherally containing fluids present therewithin. Electrically-conductive separators are placed in contact with the metal screen and the compression pad for axially containing fluids present therewithin. A plurality of the cells may be arranged in series in a bipolar configuration without requiring a separate compression pad between cells (for gas pressure differentials up to about 400 psi or greater). The invention is also directed to a fuel cell wherein the pad replaces the carbon fiber paper or carbon fiber cloth in contact with the cathode or anode.
