  text: Stability of the electrolyte toward reduced oxygen species generated at the
    cathode is a crucial challenge for the rechargeable nonaqueous Li–O2 battery.
    Here, we investigate dimethylformamide as the basis of an electrolyte. Although
    reactions at the O2 cathode on the first discharge–charge cycle are dominated
    by reversible Li2O2 formation/decomposition, there is also electrolyte decomposition,
    which increases on cycling. The products of decomposition at the cathode on discharge
    are Li2O2, Li2CO3, HCO2Li, CH3CO2Li, NO, H2O, and CO2. Li2CO3 accumulates in the
    electrode with cycling. The stability of dimethylformamide toward reduced oxygen
    species is insufficient for its use in the rechargeable nonaqueous Li–O2 battery.
