Which mechanism explains decreased energy output from a fuel cell operating at sub-zero temperatures?

💡 Explanation

At sub-zero temperatures, reaction kinetics decrease because molecules have less kinetic energy, hindering the reactions at the electrode surfaces necessary for electron transfer and energy production. Therefore slowed reaction kinetics result in decreased output, rather than increased ion mobility, membrane conductivity, or energy barrier reduction, which require higher temperatures or catalysts.
