Abstract

The invention relates to a fuel cell that operates with a polymer electrolyte membrane (3), on which gas diffusion electrodes (2) are arranged on both sides and are covered by an end plate (1) or a bipolar plate. The end plate or bipolar plate (1) is provided with a gas supplying network of channels and with a gas evacuating network of channels (6), said networks being delimited and separated from one another by the gas diffusion electrode (2). The supplied gas must therefore travel through the gas diffusion electrode (2), in order to reach the evacuating channel system from the supply channel system.
