Which outcome destabilizes a solid electrolyte in a battery?

💡 Explanation

Solid electrolytes experiencing a voltage gradient undergo ionic polarization, so the **migration of cation vacancies** creates space charge that causes dendrite formation and cracking because this lowers the required charge transfer energy rather than preventing it, therefore structural failure of solid electrolyte.
