Abstract
A process for manufacturing at least one portion of an electrolytic is provided. The process includes at least the step of printing at least one layer (3) on a first face of a bipolar plate (1) by additive manufacturing, a first face (4a) of the layer (3) being secured to the first face of the bipolar plate and the second face (4b) of the layer (3) forming at least one free end, the layer being formed of a mesh forming a cellular structure. Also disclosed are a corresponding portion of an electrolytic cell and a corresponding electrolyzer stack.
