ABSTRACT

The kinetics of Li2 S electrodeposition onto carbon in lithium-sulfur batteries are characterized. Electrodeposition is found to be dominated by a 2D nucleation and growth process with rate constants that depend strongly on the electrolyte solvent. Nucleation is found to require a greater overpotential than growth, which results in a morphology that is dependent on the discharge rate.
