Enhancement of the discharge capacity of lithium–oxygen batteries (LOBs) while maintaining a high cell voltage is an important challenge to overcome to achieve an ideal energy density. Both the cell voltage and discharge capacity of an LOB could be controlled by employing a binary solvent electrolyt...
