What causes ragged peaks during Li stripping on Cu?

03 October 2023 0 3K Report

I'm running coulombic efficiency tests on Li||Cu cells. During initial discharge, we strip away the plated Li on Cu until 1 V is reached. For certain electrolytes, the peak appears ragged instead of smooth. Does anyone have any idea what are the common causes of this behaviour?
