Which outcome occurs when a voltage above oxidation potential is applied to a lithium-ion battery's electrolyte?

💡 Explanation

Electrolyte decomposition and gas evolution commence above the threshold. This is due to oxidation, specifically oxidative decomposition; because the electrolyte's stability is surpassed due to applied over-potential; therefore, gas formation follows rather than uniform lithium deposition.
