Kinetics of lithium peroxide oxidation by redox mediators and consequences for the lithium–oxygen cell

The kinetics of Li2O2 oxidation is of high importance to the operation of Li–O2 batteries. Here the authors work on different types of mediators revealing the dependence of the kinetics on the nature of the redox active site and its steric hindrance.
