However, the lithium oxygen battery system still has many problems to be solved, for example, during the discharging process, the generated superoxide intermediate and its instability, superoxide radical ion attack carbon-based material or organic electrolyte to generate by-product, and in addition, the discharging product lithium peroxide is an insulator, which results in the charging overpotential increase during charging, and the faradaic efficiency is reduced.
Researchers have proposed many solutions to effectively decompose lithium peroxide. Such as noble metals (Nano Lett.2013, 13, 10, 4702-. However, the catalytic performance of these catalysts is not satisfactory. Subsequently, it is proposed to apply an organic redox mediator (Nat Chem 2013, 5, 489-494.) to a lithium-oxygen battery system, however, the organic compound is unstable and easy to decompose, which may further cause the battery performance to deteriorate. Therefore, the redox medium of the lithium-oxygen battery is applied to the lithium-oxygen battery, so that the battery system can be stabilized, the charging voltage can be reduced, and the energy efficiency can be improved. More importantly, the inorganic redox medium is cheap and easy to obtain, and has high application potential.
