Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell having a stack of a plurality of cells, the stack being sandwiched between a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, the fuel cell having a first flat seal and a distribution plate, the distribution plate comprising a first collection face, the first collection face and/or the first clamping plate having an annular lip arranged so as to clamp the first flat seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a stack of a plurality of fuel cell cells, the plurality comprising a first cell at a first end of the stack and a last cell at a second end of the stack, each cell comprising an anode plate and a cathode plate, each plate comprising a reactive face and a cooling face, one of the plates of the last cell forming, with one of the plates of another of the cells, a last inter-cell cooling circuit, the other of the plates of the last cell forming a last end plate, the assembly comprising a closure plate comprising an electric current collection face and a closure face fixed to the cooling face of the last end plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a fuel cell stack or an electrolyzer stack, which bipolar plate comprises an anode plate and a cathode plate assembled to each other, facing each other, the face of the anode plate opposite the face of the cathode plate defining an internal space forming a circuit for distributing a first fluid, the anode plate and the cathode plate having distinct dimensions such that at least a portion of the peripheral end of the anode plate and at least a portion of the peripheral end of the cathode plate are offset relative to each other in the plane of the bipolar plate, forming a shoulder at a peripheral end of the bipolar plate.

Abstract: A bipolar plate for a fuel cell stack or for an electrolyzer stack, having an anode plate and a cathode plate which are joined to face-to-face. Wherein the face of the anode plate that faces the face of the cathode plate delimits an internal space that forms a circuit for the distribution of a first fluid, thereby forming a bipolar plate. Wherein the first opening and the second opening facing one another thereby forming a collector configured to enable the passage of the first fluid or a second fluid through the bipolar plate. Wherein the first opening and the second opening have distinct dimensions such the peripheral end of the first opening and the peripheral end of the second opening are offset in relation to one another in the plane of the bipolar plate, forming a shoulder at the peripheral end of the collector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate for a fuel cell stack that extends in a vertical plane in the use position, the plate comprising opposed first and second transverse edges, upper and lower longitudinal edges, a central region arranged between the edges, a first opening for a heat transfer fluid inlet, a second opening for heat transfer fluid collection a third opening for an oxidant inlet, a fourth opening for oxidant collection, a fifth opening for the inlet of a fuel, a sixth opening for fuel collection, wherein the first, third and sixth openings are arranged in the first transverse edge and are arranged axially in relation to one another, the second, fourth and fifth openings are arranged in the second transverse edge and are arranged axially in relation to one another, and, in the vertical position of use of the plate: the sixth opening are arranged below the first and third openings, the fourth opening is arranged below the second and fifth openings, and the second opening is arranged above the
