Abstract
A bipolar plate for a fuel cell for generation of electrical power has a bipolar plate body having a first surface. The bipolar plate body has at least one gas flow channel on the first surface, the gas flow channel defining a first gas flow channel side wall and an opposite second gas flow channel side wall, and the gas flow channel running in a first direction to expose the electrode to the reactant. The bipolar plate also has at least one electrical conductor to run at least partly parallel to the first direction within the bipolar plate body behind the first gas flow channel side wall and/or the second gas flow channel side wall, such that, when a voltage is applied to the electrical conductor, the electrical conductor forms an electromagnetic field, the electromagnetic field to accelerate the reactant at least partly in the direction of the electrode.
