摘要: PEM fuel cell performance losses caused by phenomena occurring during normal operation are recovered periodically reducing the cathode potential to about 0.6 volts or less, and preferably 0.1 volt less. Once is reduced desired low level, it maintained at below that level for a period of time. The lower which brought, more quickly regeneration will occur. After regeneration, cell, when returned operation, operate higher level.
