← ScienceWhich outcome sharply decreases the catalytic activity within a defective hydrogen fuel cell?
A)Reduced proton exchange membrane transport✓
B)Increased fuel cell operating temperature
C)Enhanced platinum catalyst surface area
D)Improved reactant gas diffusion rate
💡 Explanation
Proton transport is necessary for current, and any major decrease from the Proton Exchange Mechanism restricts that functionality. Loss of membrane transport results in drastic under-performance because electron flow is impossible, therefore catalytic activity plummets rather than improves with temperature.
