  • Publication number: 20230335773
    Abstract: A fuel cell stack, having fuel cells stacked in a stacking direction, each of which has a plate-shaped form extending in a first and second transverse directions, as viewed orthogonally in relation to the stacking direction. The fuel cells have a stack of: an anode-side bipolar half-plate with a fuel channel structure for conducting fuel; an anode-side gas diffusion layer; a membrane-electrode unit, having electrolyte membrane and electrode layers arranged on either side of the electrolyte membrane forming an anode and cathode for electrochemical reaction of the fuel with an oxidizing agent; a cathode-side gas diffusion layer; a cathode-side bipolar half-plate with an oxidizing agent channel structure for conducting the oxidizing agent; and end plates at either end of the stack in the stacking direction. On the side of the stack, belt receptacles are mounted on the end plates, and belts are mounted over the belt receptacles clamping the stack.
