From the initial use of carbonate electrolytes, that were then found to be entirely unsuitable, to the belief that (su)peroxide was solely responsible for degradation, before the more reactive singlet oxygen was found to form, to the hypothesis that capacity depends on a competing surface/solution mechanism before a practically exclusive solution mechanism was identified. Herein, we argue for an ever-fresh look at the reported data without bias towards supposedly established explanations. We explain how the latest findings on rate and capacity limits, as well as the origin of side reactions, are connected via the disproportionation (DISP) step in the (dis)charge mechanism. Therefrom, directions emerge for the design of electrolytes and mediators on how to suppress side reactions and to enable high rate and high reversible capacity.","lang":"eng"}]},{"_id":"14701","author":[{"last_name":"Archer","first_name":"Lynden A.","full_name":"Archer, Lynden A."},{"first_name":"Peter G.","full_name":"Bruce, Peter G.","last_name":"Bruce"},{"last_name":"Calvo","first_name":"Ernesto J.","full_name":"Calvo, Ernesto J."},{"full_name":"Dewar, Daniel","first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Dewar"},{"last_name":"Ellison","first_name":"James H.

For identifying 1O2, chemical trapping via 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA) to form the endoperoxide (DMA-O2) has become the mainstay method due to its sensitivity, selectivity, and ease of use. While DMA has been shown to be selective for 1O2, rather than forming DMA-O2 with a wide variety of potentially reactive O-containing species, false positives might hypothetically be obtained in the presence of previously overlooked species. Here, we first give unequivocal direct spectroscopic proof by the 1O2-specific near infrared (NIR) emission at 1270 nm for the previously proposed 1O2 formation pathways, which centre around superoxide disproportionation. We then show that peroxocarbonates, common intermediates in metal-O2 and metal carbonate electrochemistry, do not produce false-positive DMA-O2. Moreover, we identify a previously unreported 1O2-forming pathway through the reaction of CO2 with superoxide. Overall, we give unequivocal proof for 1O2 formation in non-aqueous oxygen redox and show that chemical trapping with DMA is a reliable method to assess 1O2 formation."}],"publication_status":"epub_ahead","oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0)","short":"CC BY-NC (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png"},"day":"17","citation":{"ieee":"S.

Current understanding states surface-adsorbed versus solvated LiO2 controls Li2O2 growth as surface film or as large particles. Herein, we show that Li2O2 forms across a wide range of electrolytes, carbons, and current densities as particles via solution-mediated LiO2 disproportionation, bringing into question the prevalence of any surface growth under practical conditions. We describe a unified O2 reduction mechanism, which can explain all found capacity relations and Li2O2 morphologies with exclusive solution discharge. Determining particle morphology and achievable capacities are species mobilities, true areal rate, and the degree of LiO2 association in solution. Capacity is conclusively limited by mass transport through the tortuous Li2O2 rather than electron transport through a passivating Li2O2 film. Provided that species mobilities and surface growth are high, high capacities are also achieved with weakly solvating electrolytes, which were previously considered prototypical for low capacity via surface growth.","lang":"eng"}],"page":"3112-3119","publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","day":"29","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"EM-Fac"},{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"status":"public","date_updated":"2023-08-03T13:47:56Z","article_type":"original","volume":7,"isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2380-8195"]},"month":"08","intvolume":"         7","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","ddc":["540"],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","file_date_updated":"2023-01-20T08:43:51Z","department":[{"_id":"StFr"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"acknowledgement":"S.A.F. and C.P. are indebted to the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (Grant Agreement No. 636069).
