As can be seen from Fig. 3 (a), the cell experienced reverse current at all the different startup voltages and the patterns of reverse current were all similar. Before the startups, the cell was filled with nitrogen and the electrode potential was around 0.092 V.
Reverse current occurs only when open circuit voltage is lower than startup voltage. Reverse current is proportional to difference between startup and open circuit voltages. Pre-filling air before startup can eliminate reverse current. Linear startup strategy is effective in reducing or eliminating reverse current.
Analysis shows that the reverse current is proportional to the difference between the startup voltage and the open circuit voltage, and it occurs only when the open circuit voltage is lower than the startup voltage, which is due to the charging of the electrical double-layer on the cathode.
With the high potential at the cathode side, carbon corrosion, oxygen evolution, Pt oxidation and dissolution occur at the catalyst layer , , , , , , leading to significant decreases in both cell performance and durability. Therefore, many research efforts have been focused on reverse current during startups.
For first 5 h decay is observed, indicating that the reverse-current condition is created, corroding carbon, using only the oxygen crossover from the cathode side. This result suggests that the reverse-current decay can occur even during normal fuel cell operation, when fuel is starved locally, as discussed before.
Another startup strategy, a linear startup mode, is also tested and the results show that it is effective in reducing the reverse current. The durability of PEM fuel cells is one of the critical issues in its commercial application.

Reverse characteristic of a cell
Reverse Characteristics of a cell (i.e current behaviour when a reverse voltage is applied on it) is involved in all situations where the currents are not well balanced in a module array. This is the case namely in "mismatch" situations (of cells in a module, or modules in an array), partial shadings, or heterogeneous arrays (with different orientations, i.e different irradiances).
