Which process limits power output from polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell if hydrogen flow rate is insufficient?

💡 Explanation

When hydrogen flow is insufficient, the anode reaction rate is limited by mass transport, causing increased electrode overpotential due to the concentration polarization, reducing the cell voltage. Therefore the electrode overpotential increases, rather than oxidant starvation, water formation, or CO poisoning which require different operational failures.
