  bibo_abstract:
  - Several problems arise at the O2 (positive) electrode in the Li-air battery, including
    solvent/electrode decomposition and electrode passivation by insulating Li2O2.
    Progress partially depends on exploring the basic electrochemistry of O2 reduction.
    Here we describe the effect of complexing-cations on the electrochemical reduction
    of O2 in DMSO in the presence and absence of a Li salt. The solubility of alkaline
    peroxides in DMSO is enhanced by the complexing-cations, consistent with their
    strong interaction with reduced O2. The complexing-cations also increase the rate
    of the 1-electron O2 reduction to O2•– by up to six-fold (k° = 2.4 ×10–3 to 1.5
    × 10–2 cm s–1) whether or not Li+ ions are present. In the absence of Li+, the
    complexing-cations also promote the reduction of O2•– to O22–. In the presence
    of Li+ and complexing-cations, and despite the interaction of the reduced O2 with
    the latter, SERS confirms that the product is still Li2O2.@eng
