← ScienceWhich outcome results when intermolecular forces become too weak within a capillary fuel cell?
A)Fuel cell membrane delamination occurs
B)Fuel starvation at the electrodes begins✓
C)Electrolyte crossover rate sharply increases
D)Reduced electrocatalyst efficiency is noticed
💡 Explanation
Fuel starvation occurs in capillary fuel cells when intermolecular forces weaken, preventing fuel transport through capillary action; this is because Van der Waals' forces drive Hydrogen molecule movement. Therefore fuel fails reach electrodes rather than membrane damage/leaks.
