The anode and cathode are separated by a solid proton exchange membrane. The outer sides of the two catalyst layers are respectively adhered with a porous gas diffusion layer, and the outer sides of the gas diffusion layers are provided with bipolar plates with fluid channels. Hydrogen is continuously supplemented to the anode, oxygen is continuously supplemented to the cathode, oxidation-reduction reaction occurs on the electrode, protons reach the cathode through the electrolyte membrane, electrons reach the cathode from the anode through an external load to complete a current loop, and the reacted product water, unreacted hydrogen and oxygen are discharged through an electrode outlet. The conventional process for assembling a fuel cell is to stack all components including an end plate, a collector plate, a unipolar plate, a bipolar plate, and a membrane electrode assembly. In order to make the fuel cell more compact and lightweight, to increase its power density and to facilitate various product applications, the design requirements of the next generation fuel cell have gradually developed towards a trend of being light, thin and small.
