Electrolyte puts up a fight : The electrolyte is one of the greatest challenges facing the development of the non‐aqueous Li–O 2 battery. Although ether‐based electrolytes do from Li 2 O 2 on the first discharge, it is shown by various techniques that they also decompose and that decomposition increases while Li 2 O 2 decreases on cycling (see picture). Thus, these electrolytes are not suitable.
