Coupling cobalt single-atom catalyst with recyclable LiBr redox mediator enables stable LiOH-based Li-O2 batteries by Kang Huang, Zhixiu Lu, Shilong Dai, Chunyu Cui, Nam Dong Kim, Huilong Fei

“…Significantly, the soluble Br−‬‬‬‬‬ is recyclable in the system as the BrO− intermediate‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ could shuttle to the anode and react with Li metal to regenerate Br−‬‬‬‬‬ ‬‬so that the generation of LiBrO3 deposit is circumvented‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬. Consequently, the fabricated LOB demonstrates fewer side reactions, stable energy efficiency (drop rate of 0.10 % per cycle) and long cycle life (300 cycles at 1000 mA/g) under the ambient atmosphere.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬…”
