摘要
In this work, we show that the use of a high boiling point ether solvent (tetraglyme) promotes the formation of Li2O2 in a lithium-air cell. However, another major constituent in the discharge product of a Li-air cell contains halides from the lithium salts and C-O from the tetraglyme used as the solvent. This information is critical to the development of Li-air electrolytes, which are stable and promote the formation of the desired Li2O2 products.
