← ScienceWhich 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.
