A bipolar plate for use in an electrochemical device is proposed, in which a flow duct runs between two outer boundary surfaces and extends from a peripheral fluid inlet to a peripheral fluid outlet. As a result, very good cooling of electrochemical cells via a bipolar plate which is in surface contact therewith can be achieved.
