Rechargeable Li–O2 and Li–air batteries require electrode and electrolyte materials that synergistically promote long-term cell operation. In this study, we investigate the role of noble metals Pt and Pd as catalysts in the Li–O2 oxidation process and their compatibility with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMS...
