Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002095856
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel cell (1) comprising at least the following components: a proton-conducting membrane (2) serving as an electrolyte; catalyst layers (3), which cover the membrane (2) on both sides; gas-permeable electrodes provided in the form of an anode (4) and a cathode (5), which rest against the outwardly pointing surface of the catalyst layers (3), and; electrically conductive plates (6), which contact the electrodes in an electrically conductive manner whereby being located close to one another and which, together with the electrodes, delimit gas-conducting channels. The fuel cell also comprises gas connections for supplying hydrogen (H2) on one side and oxygen (O2) on the other. The inventive fuel cell (1) is characterized in that the membrane (2) has a matrix into which a proton-conducting organic-based polymer substance is incorporated.
