Which mechanism limits current density of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell using hydrogen?

💡 Explanation

When fuel cell utilizes hydrogen, the current density is limited by proton transport because the protons must diffuse through the polymer electrolyte membrane to complete the circuit, hindering higher current flow. Therefore proton conductivity limits current density, rather than electron mobility, oxygen diffusion, or water flooding which affect other cell components.
