“Because” isn’t a conjunctive adverb; it’s a subordinating conjunction. Subordinating conjunctions connect subordinate clauses (aka dependent clauses) to independent clauses in a single sentence. For example, “I went to the beach because it was sunny.”

“However” is a conjunctive adverb. Conjunctive adverbs are adverbs that act in a similar way to conjunctions, linking the ideas in two sentences or statements together.
To join two independent clauses together with a conjunctive adverb, use a period or a semicolon after the first clause and a comma after the conjunctive adverb. For example, “the cat chased the mouse; however, the mouse got away.”

Conjunctive adverbs, such as “however,” can’t join two independent clauses in this way. They need to be preceded by a period or a semicolon and followed by a comma: “I wanted to buy a new car; however, I didn’t have any money.”
