Which membrane failure occurs when excessive hydrogen permeates palladium?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement weakens grain boundaries by accumulating hydrogen because lattice strain increases, therefore cracks propagate rather than plastic deformation because embrittlement reduces required stress for fracture.
