Which risk increases when applying excessive voltage during aluminum electroplating?

💡 Explanation

Excessive voltage accelerates electrolysis of water. This leads to hydrogen gas evolution via the Volmer–Heyrovsky mechanism, rather than aluminum deposition, because aluminum ion reduction is limited by transport; therefore hydrogen production increases, rather than oxide formation.
