  bibo_abstract:
  - The non-aqueous Li–air (O2) battery is receiving intense interest because its
    theoretical specific energy exceeds that of Li-ion batteries. Recharging the Li–O2
    battery depends on oxidizing solid lithium peroxide (Li2O2), which is formed on
    discharge within the porous cathode. However, transporting charge between Li2O2
    particles and the solid electrode surface is at best very difficult and leads
    to voltage polarization on charging, even at modest rates. This is a significant
    problem facing the non-aqueous Li–O2 battery. Here we show that incorporation
    of a redox mediator, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), enables recharging at rates that
    are impossible for the cell in the absence of the mediator. On charging, TTF is
    oxidized to TTF+ at the cathode surface; TTF+ in turn oxidizes the solid Li2O2,
    which results in the regeneration of TTF. The mediator acts as an electron–hole
    transfer agent that permits efficient oxidation of solid Li2O2. The cell with
    the mediator demonstrated 100 charge/discharge cycles.@eng
