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"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2023-12-15T16:10:13Z","year":"2023","publisher":"Wiley","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","title":"To DISP or not?
