More Information
Summary:A fuel cell assembly including a number of fuel cells ( 12 ) arranged in a stack ( 10 ). Each fuel cell contains an anode ( 1 ), a cathode ( 2 ) and a porous electrolyte matrix ( 3 ) arranged therebetween. An electrolyte reservoir ( 11 ), which compensates the electrolyte losses from the fuel cells ( 12 ) is provided at the end, or in the vicinity of the end of the fuel cell stack ( 10 ). The electrolyte is transported to the individual fuel cells ( 12 ) by electrical forces within the fuel cell stack ( 10 ). The electrolyte reservoir ( 11 ) is configured as a supporting structure which forms hollow chambers that contain porous bodies for absorbing the electrolyte in their pores.
