Which risk increases when high-temperature, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolytes partially vitrify?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydrogen crossover occurs because vitrification increases electrolyte permeability. Molecular hydrogen permeates through the amorphous oxide structure. Therefore, fuel crossover rises, rather than improved reactivity because the hydrogen molecules are smaller, and reduced voltage because the electrolyte degrades.
