Abstract
An arrangement comprising electrochemical cells arranged adjoining one another in a stacking direction (x), wherein adjacent ones of the electrochemical cells are separated from one another by a respective electrically insulating separating element, wherein the electrochemical cells each have an anode chamber comprising an anode, a cathode chamber comprising a cathode, and a membrane arranged between the anode and the cathode chambers, wherein the anodes are each connected to the cathode of the electrochemical cell following in the stacking direction (x) via an electrically conductive connection, and wherein the electrically conductive connections pass through the separating element arranged between the respective anode and the respective cathode, and/or a boundary of the electrochemical cells. The electrically conductive connection between the anodes and the cathodes makes it possible to dispense with bipolar plates in the described arrangement. The arrangement is more cost-effective to produce and more efficient in operation than known arrangements.
