What consequence arises when exceeding cycle speed in PEM electrolyzers?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding cycle speed introduces excessive water transport, leading to increased differential swelling stresses at electrode interfaces. This accelerates electrode delamination because of fatigue, rather than the carbon support failing; therefore electrode delamination quickens rather than energy efficiency increasing.
