Abstract
Electrolyte puts up a fight: The electrolyte is one of the greatest challenges facing the development of the non-aqueous Li-O 2 battery. Although ether-based electrolytes do from Li 2O 2 on the first discharge, it is shown by various techniques that they also decompose and that decomposition increases while Li 2O 2 decreases on cycling (see picture). Thus, these electrolytes are not suitable.
