Which outcome weakens solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers?

💡 Explanation

Increased interfacial ionic resistance increases SEI cracking, because it concentrates ion flux. Space charge layers at crack tips promote crack propagation undermining SEI strength, therefore increased ionic resistance weakens it, rather than stronger covalent bonding.
