Which mechanism impedes ion mobility when solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) temperature is reduced significantly?

💡 Explanation

When SOFC temperature decreases, the Arrhenius-type relationship causes exponential reduction in oxygen vacancy concentration, reducing ionic conductivity within the electrolyte. Therefore decreased vacancy concentration impedance results, rather than other mechanisms requiring elevated temperatures or independent failure modes.
