Abstract:In this work, the decomposition of the solvent tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) was studied under conditions that simulate the charge of a Li-O2 cell in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide and lithium peroxide by means of electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). We detected the formation of radical species, although in low concentrations, originating from solvent decomposition reactions during the oxidation process, in the absence of peroxides. On the other hand, by introducing H2O2 an… Show more
