Which consequence results when excessive thermal strain leads metal oxides to deviate from stoichiometry in solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes?

💡 Explanation

Excessive defects disrupt ionic transport because the Schottky defect formation mechanism leads to vacancies in the oxide lattice; therefore, ionic conductivity falls rather than enhances, underperforming compared to ideal stoichiometry.
