← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessive thermal strain leads metal oxides to deviate from stoichiometry in solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes?
A)Increased ionic conductivity losses✓
B)Enhanced electron transport resistance
C)Decreased catalytic activation energy
D)Elevated open circuit voltage generation
💡 Explanation
Excessive defects disrupt ionic transport because the Schottky defect formation mechanism leads to vacancies in the oxide lattice; therefore, ionic conductivity falls rather than enhances, underperforming compared to ideal stoichiometry.
