Abstract: Lithium deposition is observed in situ using a microfluidic test cell. The microfluidic device rapidly sets up a steady concentration gradient and minimizes ohmic potential loss, minimizes electrolyte usage, and shows good repeatability. Dendrite growth is observed at different current densities for electrolytes containing lithium hexafluorophosphate or lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) in mixtures of propylene carbonate (PC) and dimethyl carbonate. Dendrites are formed at shorter times in electrolytes containing LiTFSI and high amounts of PC. The time to first observed dendrites increases linearly (for all electrolyte compositions) with a resistance given by the Tafel slope of the lithium reduction polarization curve.
