Abstract
Water produced in a fuel cell is managed and/or regulated by an assembly comprising at least one hydrophobic element and a hydrophilic element. The hydrophilic element is in contact with at least one first area of an outer surface of the cathode. The hydrophobic element covers the whole of a face of the hydrophilic element opposite the outer surface of the cathode and comprises at least one through opening releasing an area of said face of the hydrophilic element.
