← ScienceWhich outcome results when titanium hydride decomposition accelerates in hydrogen storage?
A)Hydrogen embrittlement causes structural failure✓
B)Increased thermal conductivity avoids overheating
C)Reversible bonding hinders efficient fuel release
D)Smaller surface area enhances reaction
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen embrittlement leads to microcrack formation and propagation within the titanium structure because hydrogen atoms diffuse into the metal lattice and weaken the grain boundaries. Therefore, structural failure occurs rather than enhanced thermal conductivity or improved fuel release.
