Abstract

Charging characteristics of lithium–oxygen (Li-O2) batteries, using C-free lithium peroxide (Li2O2)-based electrodes, have been explored in this paper based on ether-based electrolytes. Charging overpotential can be lowered with the decrease of current density, and the most possible reason behind this may lie in the poor electrical conductivity of Li2O2. Meanwhile, high temperature seems beneficial for the charging process indicating Li-O2 batteries may be promising high-temperature batteries. Charging voltage plateau is about 3.05 V at the test temperature of 343 K and current density of 4.2 mA g−1, which is the lowest value among the Li-O2 batteries reported to date.
