Discharge in the lithium-O<sub>2</sub> battery is known to occur either by a solution mechanism, which enables high capacity and rates, or a surface mechanism, which passivates the electrode surface and limits performance. The development of strategies to promote solution-phase discharge in stable electrolyte solutions is a central challenge for development of the lithium-O<sub>2</sub> battery. Here we show that the introduction of the protic additive phenol to ethers can promote a solution-phas ...[more]
