The Cover Feature illustrates the electronic energies along the Li + ‐coordinated disproportionation of superoxide anions, a parasitic reaction that leads to the formation of the detrimental, highly reactive singlet oxygen molecules which limits the rechargeability and efficiency of lithium–O 2 (air) batteries.
