A direct liquid feed fuel cell stack that includes Membrane Electrode
Assemblies (MEAs) and bipolar plates. Each MEA includes an electrolyte
membrane, an anode and a cathode, and the MEA is interposed between
stacked bipolar plates. Each bipolar plate includes a groove with a
predetermined depth enclosing an electrode region on each face of the
bipolar plate, and a plurality of fuel flow holes in the electrode region
to supply fuel or oxidant to a corresponding fuel channel, with a sealing
member being formed on the groove. The direct liquid feed fuel cell stack
prevents fuel leakage and useless fuel consumption, thereby providing
longer hours of operation.
