Li-S all-solid state battery cell containing stainless steel (SS) current collectors in contact with both electrodes, lithium negative electrode and sulfur S8 + carbon positive-electrode with copper or aluminum positive current collector; a before equalization of the electrochemical potentials of the electrodes with the electrolyte; b after equalization of the electrochemical potentials during discharge. The electrochemical potential of the positive electrode is smaller than the chemical potential of the unmixed electrolyte reference. The energy loss by the Joule effect due to the resistances inside the cell was not considered.
