Which outcome influences reaction rate in a solid oxide fuel cell electrode when operating at higher temperature?

💡 Explanation

When temperature rises in an SOFC, the electrode polarization decreases exponentially because the increased thermal energy reduces the activation overpotential for charge transfer reactions, enhancing the current density. Therefore polarization is decreased, rather than band gap widening, electrolyte linearity as tunneling is relevant only at absolute zero.
