Which outcome limits power density despite high hydrogen flux through a PEM fuel cell's membrane?

A)Increased platinum catalyst surface passivation
B)Elevated proton transport activation energy
C)Reduced electrode-electrolyte surface area”,
D)Accelerated hydrogen crossover induced corrosion

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen crossover causes corrosion because hydrogen permeates the membrane reacting at the cathode, rather than combining at the anode; therefore membrane degradation accelerates, limiting power, rather than causing passivation due to a chemical imbalance.
