Which 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.
