Abstract
The generation of reactive oxygen species has been assumed to occur during the charging reaction of lithium-oxygen batteries with organic electrolytes. Here we show independently by fluorescence microscopy and scanning electrochemical microscopy that superoxide is also formed and released into the solution during the discharge reaction.
