Which outcome occurs when solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operating temperature decreases reducing oxygen ion mobility?

💡 Explanation

When SOFC operating temperature decreases, oxygen ion conduction diminishes because lower kinetic energy reduces the rate of migration through the electrolyte lattice, resulting in smaller voltage. Therefore decreased reaction rate occurs, rather than methane cracking, enhanced polarization or thermal stress which require specific catalyst activity or temperature gradients.
