摘要：

Proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells intended to be operated at ambient conditions for portable applications are first activated by being exposed at elevated temperature and pressure. The performance of the resulting fuel cells, especially those whose electrodes are of low catalyst loadings made using supported catalysts, improve dramatically. The activation procedure is effective, quick and easy to perform. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
