Question

Which statement concerning the proton exchange membrane fuel cell is not correct?

At the anode, hydrogen gas is oxidized to water.

The cell uses platinum as a catalyst.

A limiting factor is the cost of producing hydrogen as the fuel.

At the cathode, oxygen is reduced to water.

The actual fuel cell reaction causes no pollution of any kind.
