Abstract: This study revealed the strong influence of carbon, Au/C, and Pt/C catalysts on the charge and discharge voltages of rechargeable Li–O[subscript 2] batteries. Li–O[subscript 2] single-cell measurements showed that Au/C had the highest discharge activity, while Pt/C exhibited extraordinarily high charging activity.<br />Martin Family Society of Fellows for Sustainability (Fellowship)<br />United States.
