Abstract

The invention relates to an activation method of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and the method comprises the following steps: (1) introducing hydrogen into an anode and introducing nitrogen into a cathode of an assembled cell, carrying out LSV test, and disconnecting a gas source when the tested hydrogen permeation current value is greater than the preset value of the current density; (2) switching the cathode gas into oxygen or air, maintaining the stoichiometric ratio of the cathode gas to be 2 and the stoichiometric ratio of the anode gas to be 1.1-1.5, carrying out activation treatment, then carrying out polarization curve test, and if polarization curves are superposed twice continuously after activation, finishing activation, wherein the activation treatment comprises three-step constant-voltage activation treatment which is carried out in sequence. According to the method provided by the invention, due to the introduction of the hydrogen permeation current testing process, three interfaces, namely the catalyst, the electrolyte and the Nafion, in the battery can reach the optimal balance state, the activation time is shortened, the chemical stability of a proton membrane in the battery can be greatly improved, and the service life of the battery is prolonged.
