Caption

Optical microscope imaging of catholyte at room temperature, showing that no solid is formed at the end of discharge (right figure). The coiled carbon fibers, which are the current collector (substrate) for the catholyte, are visible. The two images show the catholyte’s color change during battery discharge.
