Journal ArticleDOI

Li-O2 and Li-S batteries with high energy storage.

TL;DR: The energy that can be stored in Li-air and Li-S cells is compared with Li-ion; the operation of the cells is discussed, as are the significant hurdles that will have to be overcome if such batteries are to succeed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactions in the Rechargeable Lithium–O2 Battery with Alkyl Carbonate Electrolytes

TL;DR: Mechanisms are proposed for the reactions on discharge and charge that are consistent with the widely observed voltage gap in Li-O(2) cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lithium–Oxygen Battery with Ether-Based Electrolytes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ether-based electrolytes are not suitable for rechargeable Li–O2 cells, although the ethers are more stable than the organic carbonates, the Li2O2 that forms on the first discharge is accompanied by electrolyte decomposition, to give a mixture of Li2CO3, HCO2 Li, CH3CO2Li, polyethers/ esters, CO2, and H2O.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxygen Reactions in a Non-Aqueous Li+ Electrolyte†

TL;DR: In situ spectroscopic data are presented that provide direct evidence that LiO2 is indeed an intermediate on O2 reduction, which then disproportionates to the final product Li2O2.
