← ScienceWhich risk increases when methanol fuel cell temperature drops below freezing?
A)Internal membrane ice crystal formation✓
B)Increased platinum catalyst surface poisoning
C)Accelerated methanol crossover through electrolyte
D)Impeded oxygen reduction reaction kinetics
💡 Explanation
Ice obstructs proton mobility; therefore, diminished ionic conduction across the polymer electrolyte membrane can occur because ice-crystal formation is the dominant mechanism rather than platinum changes or methanol diffusion because they aren't directly sensitive.
