The present invention is a separator plate in an electrochemical cell having a conductive first section having a fluid flow field having a plurality of flow channels formed therein, adjacent to the first section, and each fuel The present invention relates to a separator plate having a body including a second section having a header area defining a manifold that supplies fluid to a flow field of the battery. The second section is non-conductive to prevent possible electrical interaction with a certain ionic conductivity aqueous fluid present in the fuel cell, which is an inefficient fuel cell. May result in the operation of. Furthermore, the present invention contemplates a method for forming such a separator plate. |
