← ScienceWhich risk increases when significant cooling of lithium halide molten salt electrolytes occurs?
A)Dendrite formation accelerates considerably✓
B)Electroconvection becomes more prevalent
C)Electrolyte ionic conductivity improves
D)Halide ion solvation increases notably
💡 Explanation
Dendrite formation becomes more pronounced in lithium-based electrolytes because the mechanism of ionic conductivity is reduced upon cooling and lithium plating becomes non-uniform, generating protrusions that propagate as dendrites; therefore dendrite formation accelerates faster rather than conductivity improving at lower temperatures.
