In the reverse polarity process, two reactions of electrolytic water and carbon corrosion exist in the catalyst layer, and the carbon corrosion can destroy the structure of the catalyst layer, so that active metal particles on the carbon carrier can fall off and agglomerate, and the active area of the catalyst is reduced.

Therefore, the reverse electrode can cause the membrane electrode structure to generate irreversible damage, the internal resistance of the electric pile is increased, the attenuation of the electric pile performance is accelerated, and the performance and the service life of the fuel cell automobile electric pile are seriously influenced, so that the improvement of the reverse electrode resistance of the membrane electrode is one of the problems which are urgently needed to be solved by the current automobile electric pile.
