1. A system, comprising:
a fuel cell assembly including:
a cathode gas diffusion layer;
an anode gas diffusion layer;
a membrane located between the cathode gas diffusion layer and the anode gas diffusion layer;
a cathode located between the membrane and the cathode gas diffusion layer;
an anode located between the membrane and the anode gas diffusion layer; and
a frame having a recess, the frame held by adhesive layers against the cathode and anode gas diffusion layers,
wherein one of the cathode and the anode is arranged on one of the cathode and anode gas diffusion layers to form a gas diffusion electrode, wherein there is a gap between the gas diffusion electrode and the membrane such that the gas diffusion electrode is not in direct contact with the membrane;
wherein the other of the cathode and anode is arranged on a side of the membrane opposite the gas diffusion electrode to form a one-sided membrane electrode arrangement, and an electrode-free side of the membrane is bound to the frame directly by the adhesive layer.
