FUEL ELEMENT AND BATTERY OF FUEL ELEMENTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01M8/10 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: fuel element (1) includes membrane-electrode assembly (2), to which anode adjacent is elastic plated dielectric gasket from inert material (12), also the first and the second gasket seals (5), (8). In the central part of elastic plated dielectric gasket (12) there made is a hole for passing of anode gas (hydrogen) to membrane-electrode assembly (2). To elastic plated dielectric gasket (12) adjacent is a plate (14) with gas-distributing channels (15) and branch tubes 16, 17 for input and output of anode gas. Battery of fuel elements includes at least two membrane-electrode assemblies (2).

EFFECT: increasing efficiency of energy conversion due to reduction of losses per electric resistance, increasing stability of electrical resistance in time.
