Abstract
The growth of a dendrite deposit of lead is studied in fluoborate and nitrate electrolytes containing 0.75 M Pb2+ at various supporting elec trolyte concentrations. The results are used to determine migration co nstituents of discharge currents at dendrite tops. It is found that th e absolute value of the migration flow towards dendrite tops may be es sential even in the presence of an excess of a foreign electrolyte. Th is effect is due to a high current density at the tops caused by spher ical diffusion.
