The invention relates to a method for detecting an oxidation phenomenon in a porous metal anode of an electrochemical device having a porous cathode and an electrolyte inserted between the anode and the cathode. Said method involves: supplying the anode with a reducing fuel and the cathode with an oxidizer; applying (in 54) a first current value between the anode and the cathode such as to obtain a constant voltage between the anode and the cathode; changing (in 54) the current to a second current value; applying (in 58) a third current value between the anode and the cathode such as to obtain a constant voltage between the anode and the cathode, the third current value being different from the first current value; changing (in 58) the current to a fourth current value; and comparing (in 60) the resulting transient states and detecting the occurrence of an oxidation phenomenon in the anode if the transient states are different. |
