← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a catalyst degrades in fuel cell?
A)Reaction rate slows significantly decreases✓
B)Electrolyte leakage increases system current
C)Oxidation half‐reaction proceeds much faster
D)Overall overpotential will inevitably fully stop
💡 Explanation
Because the catalyst is essential for lowering activation energy and increasing cell reaction rate, catalyst degradation diminishes its overall effectiveness via catalyst poisoning; therefore reaction rate slows down rather than the other effects which are not directly related.
