摘要
Using the anion receptor tris(penftafluorophenyl) borane as an additive to non-aqueous electrolytes, the solubility of solid Li2O2 can be dramatically increased through the Lewis acid-base interaction between boron and peroxide. The complexed boron-peroxide ions can be electrochemically oxidized with much better kinetics than the oxidation of solid Li2O2 on a carbon powder microelectrode. This discovery could lead to a new avenue for the development of high capacity, high rate, rechargeable, Li-Air batteries. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
