Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for a bipolar plate for a fuel cell system that includes cross flow channels facilitating reactant flow between primary reactant flow channels. In certain embodiments, the cross flow channels may allow for improved reactant flow distribution across catalyst layers of the fuel cell system. In further embodiments, the cross flow channels may increase a reaction interface area in the fuel system, thereby improving the performance of the system.
