← ScienceIn a polymer electrolyte membrane at low humidity, which outcome is most likely?
A)Proton conductivity drops significantly✓
B)Increased catalyst layer utilization
C)Membrane swelling becomes prevalent
D)Reduced methanol crossover effect
💡 Explanation
Dehydration reduces proton transport because the Grotthuss Mechanism relies on water molecules to hop hydrogen ions; therefore conductivity drops, rather than enhanced catalyst activity because reactants are impacted by membrane conditions.
