An ex-situ study on HOPG aimed to analyze the effect of the incorporation of chloride on the capacity of LOB, and it is the only AFM work where the electrical conductivity of the formed film was analyzed. The authors claim that an important increase in the film conductivity was detected by Conductive-AFM, when Cl -ions are added to the electrolyte. However, some doubts on the conclusions arise due to the lack of care when the film deposited on the electrode is transferred to the AFM cell. It is probable that the Li 2 O 2 was converted to LiOH before the conductivity was measured with the AFM and also, that the high conductivity reported be a consequence of the contact of the Pt AFM tip with the HOPG surface in some places. In fact, DFT studies on Li 2 O 2 structures doped with Cl -ions have proved that the conductivity of the systems is not altered by the presence of chloride or other halogen anions. In this work we have developed a novel procedure for in-situ observation of the deposit in a LOB during discharge/charge cycles, which can be performed without resorting to the use of a glove-box, making the technique more simple than previously reported in the literature. The technique was used to analyze the morphology of the Li 2 O 2 deposit on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), using lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) as electrolyte, under different operational conditions.
