The instability of currently used electrolyte solutions and of the carbon support during chargedischarge in non-aqueous lithiumoxygen cells can lead to discharge products other than the desired Li 2 O 2 , such as Li 2 CO 3 , which is believed to reduce cycle-life. Similarly, discharge in an O 2 atmo...
