The fuel cell is hindered by the freezing of residual water and generated water during the starting under the low temperature condition, and the ice fills the pores of the catalytic layer or the diffusion layer, so that the electrochemical reaction is reduced and even stopped, and the low-temperature starting performance of the electric pile is influenced. Meanwhile, when water is frozen, volume expansion is generated, and when the ice is melted into water by heat generated after the battery is started, the volume is reduced, and repeated phase change can greatly influence the battery material structure, so that the performance and the service life of the battery are greatly influenced.
