1-9. (canceled)
A bipolar plate, comprising:
- a grid having a first predetermined dimension;
- a spacer having a second predetermined dimension;
- a positive paste;
- a negative paste;
- a positive conducting surface;
- and
- a negative conducting surface,
- wherein said grid is folded over said spacer such that said grid covers substantially both sides of said spacer, said positive conducting surface being formed by pasting said positive paste on one side of said grid, and said negative conducting surface is formed by pasting said negative paste on another side of said grid.
