Which outcome reduces catalytic efficiency when a fuel cell's electrodes experience hydrogen exposure?

💡 Explanation

Decreased catalytic activity occurs when hydrogen's **chemisorption** onto platinum surfaces on the electrodes induces recrystallization effects, minimizing exposed area because larger Pt crystals form, therefore reducing catalytic activity, rather than increasing activity or damaging oxides.
