Abstract:
The invention relates to a bipolar plate ( 15 ) for a fuel cell stack ( 10 ) comprising a first sealing section ( 157 ) on its side ( 151 ) as well as a second sealing section ( 158 ) on its second side. The sealing sections are designed to sealingly interact in a fuel cell stack ( 10 ) with an elastic seal element ( 16 ). It is provided that the first and second sealing sections of the bipolar plate ( 15 ) are designed asymmetrically in that at least one sealing projection ( 1571 ) is formed in the first sealing section ( 157 ), and the second sealing section ( 158 ) is formed without a sealing projection and/or is substantially flat. When such bipolar plates ( 15 ) alternatingly interact with seal elements ( 6 ) that are designed flat in a fuel-cell stack ( 10 ), an effective stack seal can be achieved with low required contact pressure.

Claim (Index 7):
The bipolar plate according to  claim 1 , wherein the bipolar plate is made of an electrically conductive carbon-based material.
