The invention discloses a method for simulating
reverse current generation of an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyser and application of an accelerated stress test on the influence of the
reverse current on an
electrode, and relates to the technical field of
electrochemistry. The method for generating the
reverse current comprises the following steps: in a constant
electrolysis state, 0V is applied at the moment of shutdown, the
anode potential crosses the
equilibrium potential, an instantaneous reverse polarization
signal of-1.0 V vs. RHE appears, and then the instantaneous reverse polarization
signal is quickly attenuated and approaches to zero, which indicates that the reverse current is successfully induced. The accelerated stress test method comprises the following steps of: respectively operating under different current densities, re-stopping and re-starting after operating under each
current density, and repeating the operation. According to the method, real-time tracking and quantitative evaluation of the AEMWE
anode failure process are achieved, the activity attenuation path and the
inert covering layer forming process of the
anode under the reverse current condition are defined, and reference is provided for reliability evaluation of the AEMWE
electrode under the fluctuation working condition.
