Surface studies of lithium-oxygen redox reactions over HOPG

The O2/Li2O2 electrode reaction has been studied on low surface area HOPG electrodes in 0.1 M LiPF6 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) electrolyte. Studies were performed using electrochemical cells coupled to a XPS spectrometer and to an AFM microscope. AFM images after electrochemical treatment at catho...
