TLDR
Three-dimensional ordered mesoporous/macroporous carbon sphere arrays are synthesized and then used as a catalyst for Li-O2 batteries and the hierarchical porous structure of the MMCSAs facilitates electrolyte immersion and Li(+) diffusion and provides an effective space for O2 diffusion and O2 /Li2 O2 conversion.
Abstract
Three-dimensional ordered mesoporous/macroporous carbon sphere arrays (MMCSAs) are synthesized and then used as a catalyst for Li-O2 batteries. The hierarchical porous structure of the MMCSAs not only facilitates electrolyte immersion and Li(+) diffusion but also provides an effective space for O2 diffusion and O2 /Li2 O2 conversion, and thus efficiently improves the performance of Li-O2 batteries.

A reversible and higher-rate Li-O2 battery.

TL;DR: Operation of the rechargeable Li-O2 battery depends critically on repeated and highly reversible formation/decomposition of lithium peroxide (Li2O2) at the cathode upon cycling, and it is shown that this process is possible with the use of a dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte and a porous gold electrode.
