Which outcome occurs when an alkaline fuel cell membrane degrades?

A)Increased membrane crossover of hydroxide ions
B)Enhanced electrocatalyst surface area utilization
C)Decreased cell operating temperature stability
D)Improved platinum dissolution reaction kinetics

💡 Explanation

Increased membrane crossover of hydroxide ions results because membrane degradation increases membrane porosity promoting **diffusion**. This causes increased ion transport across the membrane therefore decreasing efficiency rather than improved catalytic activity under other operating conditions.
