Abstract

Mass Spectrometry, coupled with electrochemistry, is a powerful research tool to study mechanisms for a broad range of electrode reactions by identifying and quantifying reaction products and intermediates. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the Li-O₂ battery researches offered by electrochemical mass spectrometry based on our group investigations. These include the research progresses in electrolytes, cathode materials (electrocatalysts), and parasitic reactions, i.e., the key issues associated with Li-O₂ research. In addition, we also discuss the effects of irreversible side reactions involved in battery systems on charge and discharge processes.
