The formation and growth of the Li 2 O 2  discharge product impacts the reversibility of the oxygen evolution and reduction reactions in Li-O 2  batteries which may lead to a shorter cycle life. A clear understanding of the surface reactions and the growth mechanism of Li 2 O 2  requires probing dynamic changes on the surface of the positive electrodes in situ during the discharge of a Li-O 2  battery. To investigate this, we establish an experimental system by adopting a multi-beam optical sensor (MOS) and developing a custom-made battery cell. First, the accuracy and reliability of the system was demonstrated by analyzing the stress accumulation on the Au negative electrode during Li plating/stripping, and the results were consistent with an earlier single-beam scanning deflectometry report. Then, the Li-O 2  battery was discharged in LiNO 3  in diglyme electrolyte by applying either linear sweep voltammetry or by applying constant current under an O 2  environment. Control experiments in Argon-saturated electrolytes indicate surface stress generation due to charge-induced stress. The stress generation on Au positive electrode is attributed to the formation of Li 2 O 2  reaction products on the Au surface and charge-induced stress.
