摘要
A method of conditioning a fuel cell having an anode supplied with a fuel, and a cathode supplied with an oxidant comprising the steps of: (i) applying a first external load to said fuel cell to produce a first voltage which is less than open circuit voltage for a first period of time less than about 20 minutes; (ii) Removing the external load for a second period of time less than about 2 minutes; and (iii) Applying a second external load to said fuel cell to produce a second voltage which is less than open circuit voltage for a third period of time less than about 20 minutes.
