“…Among various available batteries, Li-O 2 batteries (LOBs), which are also called Li-air batteries (LABs), have the highest theoretical specific energy of 3,505 Wh kg −1 . This specific energy is ∼10 times that of Li-ion batteries (Bruce et al, 2012) and higher than other Li metal batteries (Xue et al, 2019;Sun et al, 2020). Therefore, LOBs have attracted immense interest since 1996 as the "holy grail" of batteries (Abraham and Jiang, 1996).…”
