Fig. 4From: Thermodynamic considerations of same-metal electrodes in an asymmetric cellDuring discharge of a Li-S all-solid state battery cell containing stainless steel current collectors in contact with both electrodes, lithium negative electrode, sulfur S8 and carbon positive electrode and copper or aluminum positive current collector. If the electrochemical potential of the positive electrode increases until it overcomes − 3.82 eV, the EDLC charges flip in order to equalize the electrochemical potentials and more Li-ions are attracted to the electrolyte interface with the positive electrode. We do not consider the energy lost by the Joule effect due to the resistances inside the cellBack to article page
