From: The synergetic effect of lithium polysulfide and lithium nitrate to prevent lithium dendrite growth

SEM images of the top surface of the deposited lithium (edge region) after 100 cycles of charge/discharge at 2 mA cm−2 using electrolyte (a) with the addition of both Li2S8 (0.18 M) and LiNO3 (5 wt%), and (b) with the addition of only LiNO3 (5 wt%) at a deposition capacity of 2 mAh cm−2.
