An artificial while very stable solid electrolyte interphase film is formed on lithium metal using an electrochemical strategy. When this protected Li anode is first used in a Li–O2 battery, the film formed on the anode can effectively suppress the parasitic reactions on the Li anode/electrolyte int...
