A rechargeable lithium–oxygen battery with dual mediators stabilizing the carbon cathode (2017)
Journal Article

At the cathode of a Li–O2 battery, O2 is reduced to Li2O2 on discharge, the process being reversed on charge. Li2O2 is an insulating and insoluble solid, leading ultimately to low rates, low capacities and early cell death if formed on the cathode su...
