    摘要: A membrane-electrode assembly for use in a reversible fuel cell comprises an ion conductive membrane having first and second surface; a first electrocatalyst layer in contact with the first surface of the membrane said first electrocatalyst layer comprising at least one discrete electrolysis-active area (ELE1 i ) and at least one discrete energy generation-active area (EG1 i ). A second electrocatalyst layer is placed in contact with the second surface of the membrane said second electrocatalyst layer comprising at least one discrete electrolysis-active area (ELE2 i ) and at least one discrete energy generation-active area (EG2 i ). Each of the discrete electrolysis-active area(s) (ELE1 i ) on the first electrocatalyst layer correspond and are aligned with each of the discrete electrolysis-active area(s) (ELE2 i ) on the second electrocatalyst layer and each of the discrete energy generation-active area(s) (EG1 i ) on the first electrocatalyst layer correspond and are aligned with each of the discrete energy generation-active area(s) (EG2 i ) on the second electrocatalyst layer.

    摘要: A fuel cell includes first and second flow field plates, and an anode electrode and a cathode electrode between the flow field plates. A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) is arranged between the electrodes. At least one of the flow field plates influences, at least in part, an in-plane anisotropic physical condition of the PEM that varies in magnitude between a high value direction and a low value direction. The PEM has an in-plane physical property that varies in magnitude between a high value direction and a low value direction. The PEM is oriented with its high value direction substantially aligned with the high value direction of the flow field plate.
