Which outcome occurs when platinum loading is increased in a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell?

💡 Explanation

Increased Pt loading enhances catalytic activity, causing reduction in oxygen reduction kinetic overpotential, because more active sites lower the activation energy. Therefore, polarization losses reduce, rather than other effects like increased CO poisoning risk or ohmic resistance because those stem from different processes.
