Abstract:Li-O2cells are very promising energy conversion devices because of the theoretical specific capacity that they could provide (1). Unfortunately they are also very challenging regarding the instability of their components, like electrolyte solvent (2-4) and carbon electrode (5, 6) mostly due to the reactivity of superoxide ion radical during discharge or other reactive oxygen species in charge.
Also the binder used in the O2-electrode could provide reactivity, which could have a strong effect on … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
