Rechargeable superoxide batteries have the potential to surpass current lithium‐ion technology due to their high theoretical energy densities. The use of superoxides as an energy storage material is highly advantageous when compared to their close relatives, peroxides. The two most studied systems are sodium and potassium‐oxygen batteries. Both batteries present unique advantages and challenges. For more information, see the Minireview by Y. Wu et al. on page 17627 ff.
