← ScienceWhich mechanism limits the charging rate in lithium-ion batteries?
A)Hydrogen evolution at the cathode✓
B)Lithium plating on the anode
C)Electrolyte oxidation at high voltage
D)Separator degradation during cycling
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen evolution at the cathode limits charging rates because the reduction of protons forms hydrogen gas, rather than promoting lithium intercalation; therefore, this side reaction reduces cell efficiency and creates safety concerns, rather than desirable lithium-ion insertion.
