Which outcome occurs when excess hydrogen accumulates post-hydrolysis within a fuel cell?

A)Platinum catalyst surface poisoning occurs
B)Anode-side water production increases
C)Electrolyte membrane conductivity increases
D)Cathode material oxidation rate decreases

💡 Explanation

Platinum surface poisoning lowers catalyst activity because hydrogen blocks reactant adsorption sites during electrochemical oxidation in fuel cells; therefore, efficiency drops, rather than water production increasing at the anode under normal operations.
