A rechargeable lithium–oxygen battery with dual mediators stabilizing the carbon cathode (2017)
Journal Article
Gao, X., Chen, Y., Johnson, L. R., Jovanov, Z. P., & Bruce, P. G. (2017). A rechargeable lithium–oxygen battery with dual mediators stabilizing the carbon cathode. Nature Energy, 2, Article 17118. https://doi.org/10.1038/nenergy.2017.118

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...

Phenol-Catalyzed Discharge in the Aprotic Lithium-Oxygen Battery (2017)
Journal Article
Gao, X., Jovanov, Z. P., Chen, Y., Johnson, L. R., & Bruce, P. G. (2017). Phenol-Catalyzed Discharge in the Aprotic Lithium-Oxygen Battery. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 56(23), 6539-6543. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201702432

Discharge in the lithium‐O2 battery is known to occur either by a solution mechanism, which enables high capacity and rates, or a surface mechanism, which passivates the electrode surface and limits performance. The development of strategies to promo... Read More about Phenol-Catalyzed Discharge in the Aprotic Lithium-Oxygen Battery.
