End plate arrangement for electrochemical device e.g. fuel cell stack, has end plate that is provided with pressure distributing element which is formed of variable-shape-under-pressure-acting pressure distribution material

摘要

The end plate arrangement (134) has an end plate (106,108) that is provided with a pressure distributing element which is formed of variable-shape-under-pressure-acting pressure distribution material. The pressure distribution material is provided with the polymer material and gel material. A cover portion is made of the metallic material, and is formed on the pressure distribution material. The portion of the cover portion is connected with the end plate. An independent claim is included for a method for manufacturing electrochemical device.
