    Abstract: The present invention provides a membrane-less fuel cell that comprises a microfluidic channel system at an interface (5) between two wafers (21, 22) with a fuel gas channel (9) and an oxidiser gas channel (7) overlapping each other in order to make a laminar fuel gas flow in the fuel gas channel (9) to meet a laminar oxidiser fuel gas flow in the oxidiser gas channel (7) in a fuel cell cavity between two parallel electrodes (10, 11), whereby ions are exchanged by diffusion between said flows via a diffusion zone (8). Each of the fuel gas channel (9) and the oxidiser gas channel (7) comprises serially connected sub-cells (1, 2, 3), thereby forming an array of sub-cell cavities for ion exchange. The efficiency of the fuel cell is improved by having a sub-cell configuration that differs from one sub-cell to another. Further the fuel cell can easily be scaled up with maintained efficiency by having a plurality of gas channels forming a matrix of sub-cell cavities.
