Which outcome results during electrolysis of molten ionic salts at high current density?

💡 Explanation

During high-current electrolysis, rapid ion reduction often leads to uneven deposition at the cathode because ion migration can't keep up, favoring growth at protrusions, which results in dendritic metal structures. Therefore, dendrite formation results rather than passivation, depletion, or polarization, all requiring different specific mechanisms.
