Figure 2: Morphology characterization of lithium metal deposited onto stainless steel substrate.
From: The synergetic effect of lithium polysulfide and lithium nitrate to prevent lithium dendrite growth
SEM images of lithium metal deposited onto bare stainless steel substrate (the edge region of the whole deposition area) in the electrolyte (a–c) with the addition of only LiNO3 (1 wt%) and (d–f) with the addition of both Li2S8 (0.18 M) and LiNO3 (1 wt%) at a current density of 2 mA cm−2 and deposition capacities of 0.2, 2 and 6 mAh cm−2, respectively. Scale bars, 20 μm.
