Abstract

In this part, a comparative kinetic study for several RMs for OER by investigating the RM-assisted charging focusing on the chemical decomposition rate of discharge product and the RM diffusivity in the controlled lithium–oxygen cells. It was revealed that the overall RM kinetics have a positive correlation with the RM redox potential, and, the RM with multi-redox capability can display kinetic properties depending on its oxidation states. Among the investigated RMs, DMPZ2+ (5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethylphenazine) exhibits the highest lithium peroxide decomposition rate, while TEMPO+ (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) shows the highest mass diffusion rate. Furthermore, the selection of electrolytes is observed to greatly influence the rate capability of the RM-assisted charge, and thereby be carefully considered.
