FUEL CELL FOR A FUEL CELL STACK

The invention relates to a fuel cell for a fuel cell stack, which has a first bipolar plate and a catalyst membrane layer, the catalyst membrane layer being subdivided into at least two segments but the first bipolar plate being formed continuously and extending beyond the at least two segments; thus, the at least two segments being electrically connected in parallel, and a first channel structure, which is intended to supply the catalyst membrane layer with a reaction gas being subdivided into at least two segments congruently with the at least two segments of the catalyst membrane layer.
