T he effect of humidification conditions of electr olyte on the reference electr ode potential and its potential stability w as in estigatedT he experiment r esults show ed that the potential of re ersible hydrogen electrode ( RHE) , acting as the reference electrode of DMFC, decreased w ith increasing degree of electrolyte humidificationIt w as found that the potential stability of RH E w as mainly determined by the stability of its surface stateTo obtain stable and accurate polarization cur es, it w as suggested that the electrolyte located on RHE should be humidified by liquid w ater on its opposite side and the flow rate of H2 should be controlled at an appropriate and stable alue.
