NOVELTY - A fuel cell stack comprises an end region (E1) having N1 fuel cell units (10), and which is connected to a reactant inlet (I1), and a reactant source (S1) which is a hydrogen source, and configured to provide a reactant (R1) to fuel cell stack, and at least one fuel cell unit (10) comprising a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) (22) with a catalyst material (M1) comprising a catalyst composition (C1) on anode (14) and/or cathode (16) of fuel cell unit (10), an end region (E2) having N2 fuel cell units, and which is connected to a reactant inlet (I2), and a reactant source (S2) which is an oxygen source, and configured to provide a reactant (R2) to fuel cell stack, and at least one of the number (N2) of fuel cell units which is a fuel cell unit (U2) comprising an MEA with a catalyst material (M2) comprising a catalyst composition (C2) on anode and/or cathode of fuel cell unit (10). USE - Fuel cell stack e.g. proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack used in power source for vehicle and transportation application. ADVANTAGE - The fuel cell stack optimizes catalytic activities of the fuel cell units due to variation of catalyst support materials for fuel cell units, and enhances performance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A fuel cell stack comprises an end region (E1) having N1 fuel cell units (10), and which is connected to a reactant inlet (I1), and a reactant source (S1) which is a hydrogen source, and configured to provide a reactant (R1) to fuel cell stack, and at least one of fuel cell units comprising a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) (22) with a catalyst material (M1) comprising a catalyst composition (C1) on anode (14) and/or cathode (16) of fuel cell unit (10), an end region (E2) having a number (N2) of fuel cell units, and which is connected to a reactant inlet (I2), and a reactant source (S2) which is an oxygen source, and configured to provide a reactant (R2) to the fuel cell stack, and at least one of the number (N2) of fuel cell units which is a fuel cell unit (U2) comprising an MEA with a catalyst material (M2) comprising a catalyst composition (C2) on anode and/or cathode of fuel cell unit (10), and a middle region having a number (N3) of fuel cell units, and situated between the end region (E1, E2), and at least one of the number (N3) of fuel cell units which is a fuel cell unit (U3) comprising an MEA with a catalyst material (M3) comprising catalyst composition (C3) on either or both an anode and a cathode of the fuel cell unit (10).
