NOVELTY - The bipolar fuel cell plate (10) comprises a plate having an inlet aperture (12), an outlet aperture (14) and flow channels (16), which are formed between and in fluid communication with the inlet aperture and outlet aperture, an uncoated- or a hydrophobic portion formed on the flow channels adjacent to the outlet aperture, a hydrophilic portion (18) formed on the flow channels adjacent to the hydrophobic portion or uncoated portion and forming an interface between the hydrophobic- and uncoated portion, and an inactive area disposed intermediate to the apertures and the hydrophilic portion.    USE - The bipolar fuel cell plate is useful in a fuel cell stack (claimed) and/or in a fuel cell assembly of a fuel cell power system.    ADVANTAGE - The bipolar fuel cell plate minimizes the accumulation of liquid water or the ice formation within the fuel cell assembly with low pressure drop thus increasing the efficiency and performance of the fuel cell assembly with less power consumption without voltage loss.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The bipolar fuel cell plate (10) comprises a plate having an inlet aperture (12), an outlet aperture (14) and flow channels (16), which are formed between and in fluid communication with the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture, an uncoated portion or a hydrophobic portion formed on the flow channels adjacent to the outlet aperture, a hydrophilic portion (18) formed on the flow channels adjacent to the hydrophobic portion or the uncoated portion and forming an interface between hydrophobic portion and the uncoated portion, and an inactive area disposed intermediate to the apertures and the hydrophilic portion. A width of the flow channels of the hydrophobic portion or the uncoated portion is greater than a width of the flow channels of the hydrophilic portion. The hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion or the uncoated portion facilitates a transport of water from the flow channels to the outlet aperture. The interface is a triangular shape, a circular shape, a linear shape or a curvilinear shape. The hydrophobic portion or the uncoated portion is formed on the inactive area. A portion of the hydrophilic portion is less than the width of a remaining portion of the hydrophilic portion. The hydrophilic portion is a coating made of metal oxide and mixture of metal oxides. The fuel cell plate further comprises a further hydrophobic portion formed on the flow channels adjacent to the inlet aperture, and tunnels, which are formed in the plate and provide fluid communication between the flow channels and the inlet aperture or the outlet aperture, and has a cathode side and an anode side. The hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion or the uncoated portion are formed on the cathode side, the anode side and/or both the anode side and the cathode side. The hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion overlap each other. The uncoated portion is formed between the hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion. A portion of the tunnels include a hydrophobic coating. A coating is formed on the portion of the tunnels and the flow channels, and a hydrophilic coating formed on the channels or a hydrophobic coating formed on the portion of the tunnels. A width of the flow channels adjacent to the tunnels is greater than a width of the remaining portion of the flow channels. Each of the hydrophilic portion and the hydrophobic portion and the coating are formed with a spraying process, a dipping process, a brushing process, a chemical vapor deposition process or a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process with a sol-gel by plasma polymerization using atmospheric air plasma process, and on a bulk supply of metal sheet prior to the stamping of the plate.
