Abstract

The invention relates to a distribution structure (10) for providing at least one reaction gas, in particular a gas mixture containing oxygen (O2), for a fuel cell (100) or an electrolyser, having a first structure element (11) and a second structure element (12), wherein the first structure element (11) and the second structure element (12) are designed and arranged with respect to one another such that: a distribution area (15) for the reaction gas is formed between the first structure element (11) and the second structure element (12); a plurality of feed channels (16) branch off from the distribution area (15) and are orientated substantially perpendicular to the distribution area (15); and a plurality of discharge channels (17) are formed below the second structure element (12) and are orientated parallel to the distribution area (15).
