Surface Study of Lithium-Air Battery Oxygen Cathodes in Different Solvent-Electrolyte pairs

The O<inf>2</inf>/Li<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> electrode reaction has been studied on low surface area Au electrodes in three solvent-electrolyte pairs (0.1 M LiPF<inf>6</inf>/DMSO, LiPF<inf>6</inf>/ACN, and LiBF<inf>4</inf>/ACN)...
