The hydrogen enters the hydrogen channel 21 through the first hydrogen inlet 11 and diffuses in the first flow guide area 2 along the hydrogen channel 21, and since the diffusion rate of the hydrogen is greater than that of the oxygen, the serpentine hydrogen channel 21 is used for prolonging the diffusion path of the hydrogen, so that the hydrogen can stay in the first flow guide area 2 for a longer time, and the possibility that the hydrogen is discharged from the first hydrogen outlet 114 without reacting with the oxygen is reduced, so that the hydrogen and the oxygen react more fully, and the output performance of the fuel cell is improved.

Since the hydrogen channels 21 are mostly arranged in the width direction of the anode plate 12 and the oxygen channels 31 are arranged along the length of the cathode plate 11, the contact area of hydrogen and oxygen can be increased, and the reaction of oxygen and hydrogen can be more sufficient. And the oxygen channel 31 on the cathode plate 12 is relatively short, so the water generated on the cathode plate 12 can be rapidly discharged in the oxygen channel 31, the influence of the water on the reaction of the hydrogen and the oxygen is reduced, and the performance of the fuel cell is improved.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, a plurality of electrode assemblies 1 constitute a pem fuel cell, and anode plates 11 and cathode plates 12 of adjacent electrode assemblies 1 correspond, with a pem interposed between adjacent electrode assemblies 1. A condensation field 4 is formed between an anode plate 11 and a cathode plate 12 in the electrode assembly 1, the condensing agent flows in the condensation field 4, certain reaction heat can be generated in the process of generating electrons through the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and the condensing field 4 is arranged, so that the condensing agent can exchange heat with the reaction heat, the heat in the reaction is taken away, and the surface temperature of the proton exchange membrane is uniformly distributed.

The second oxygen inlet 125 and the second oxygen outlet 128 are also in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, and the upper bottom edges of the second oxygen inlet 125 and the second oxygen outlet 128 are both arranged towards the second flow guiding area 3, so that the pressure of oxygen entering the second oxygen inlet 125 can be increased, and the rate of oxygen entering the oxygen channel 31 can be increased. The area of the first oxygen inlet 113 and the first oxygen outlet 116 is larger than that of the first hydrogen inlet 111 and the first hydrogen outlet 114, and since the required amount of oxygen is larger than that of hydrogen when hydrogen and oxygen react, more oxygen is allowed to enter the oxygen channel 31, facilitating the sufficient reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.
Referring to fig. 3, a plurality of guide strips 121 are fixedly connected to the cathode plate 12 below the second oxygen inlet 125, and the guide strips 121 close to the second condensing agent inlet 124 are obliquely arranged, since the second oxygen inlet 124 is located at one side of the cathode plate 12, when entering the oxygen channel 31 from the second oxygen inlet 125, most of the oxygen may enter along the oxygen channel 31 below the second oxygen inlet 125, and the oxygen content in the oxygen channel 31 far away from the second oxygen inlet 125 is less, resulting in insufficient reaction between the hydrogen and the oxygen, and by arranging the guide strips 121, the oxygen is diffused along the length direction of the guide strips 121, and the oxygen is dispersed to the vicinity of each oxygen channel 31.

The hydrogen and oxygen gases diffuse in the hydrogen passage 21 and the oxygen passage 31, respectively, and the hydrogen and oxygen gases come into contact and react.
The condensing agent enters the first condensing area 41 and the second condensing area 42 from the first condensing agent inlet 112 and the third condensing agent inlet 117, and is finally discharged from the first condensing agent outlet 115 and the third condensing agent outlet 118, and the condensing agent can carry away hydrogen and oxygen to generate reaction heat during reaction when being conveyed in the first condensing channel 411 and the second condensing channel 421, so that the conveying performance of the fuel cell is improved.
