Abstract
The short history of research on Li-O2 batteries has seen a remarkable number of mechanistic U-turns over the years. From the initial use of carbonate electrolytes, that were then found to be entirely unsuitable, to the belief that (su)peroxide was solely responsible for degradation, before the more reactive singlet oxygen was found to form, to the hypothesis that capacity depends on a competing surface/solution mechanism before a practically exclusive solution mechanism was identified. Herein, we argue for an ever-fresh look at the reported data without bias towards supposedly established explanations. We explain how the latest findings on rate and capacity limits, as well as the origin of side reactions, are connected via the disproportionation (DISP) step in the (dis)charge mechanism. Therefrom, directions emerge for the design of electrolytes and mediators on how to suppress side reactions and to enable high rate and high reversible capacity.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancies and heteroatom doping play important role in oxygen reduction activity of metal oxides. Developing efficient modification method is one of the key issues in catalysts research. Room temperature plasma treatment, with the advantages of mild working conditions, no emissions and high efficiency, is a new catalyst modification method developed in recent years. In this work, hydrothermal synthesizedα-MnO2nanorods are treated in NH3plasma at room temperature. In the reducing atmosphere, oxygen vacancies and N doping are achieved simultaneously on the surface. The NH3plasma etched MnO2demonstrate a significant enhanced oxygen reduction activity with half-wave potential of 0.84 V, limiting current density of 6.32 mA cm-2and transferred electrons number of 3.9. The Mg-air battery with N-MnO2display a maximum power density of 76.3 mW cm-2as well as stable discharge performance. This work provides new ideas for preparing efficient and cost-effective method to boost the catalysts activity.

Abstract
Sodium-oxygen battery has attracted tremendous interest due to its extraordinary theoretical specific energy (1605 Wh kg-1 NaO2) and appealing element abundance. However, definite mechanistic factors governing efficient oxygen diffusion and consumption inside electrolyte-flooded air cathodes remain elusive thus precluding a true gas diffusion electrode capable of high discharge current (i.e., several mA cm-2) and superior output power. Herein, 3D-printing technology is adopted to create gas channels with tailored channel size and structure to demystify the diffusion-limited oxygen delivery process. It is revealed that as the clogging discharging products increase, large channel size, and interconnected channel structure are essential to guaranteeing fast O2 diffusion. Moreover, to further encourage O2 diffusion, a bio-inspired breathable cathode with progressively branching channels that balances between O2 passage and reaction is 3D printed. This elaborated 3D electrode allows a sodium-oxygen cell to deliver an impressive discharging current density of up to 4 mA cm-2 and an output power of 8.4 mW cm-2, giving rise to an outstanding capacity of 18.4 mAh cm-2. The unraveled mystery of oxygen delivery enabled by 3D printing points to a valuable roadmap for the rational design of metal-air batteries toward practical applications.

Abstract
The metal-air batteries with the largest theoretical energy densities have been paid much more attention. However, metal-air batteries including Li-air/O2, Li-CO2, Na-air/O2, and Zn-air/O2 batteries, are complex systems that have their respective scientific problems, such as metal dendrite forming/deforming, the kinetics of redox mediators for oxygen reduction/evolution reactions, high overpotentials, desolution of CO2, H2O, etc. from the air and related side reactions on both anode and cathode. It should be the main direction to address these shortages to improve performance. Here, we summarized recently research progress in these metal-air/O2 batteries. Some perspectives are also provided for these research fields.

Abstract
Capacity, rate performance, and cycle life of aprotic Li-O2 batteries critically depend on reversible electrodeposition of Li2O2. Current understanding states surface-adsorbed versus solvated LiO2 controls Li2O2 growth as surface film or as large particles. Herein, we show that Li2O2 forms across a wide range of electrolytes, carbons, and current densities as particles via solution-mediated LiO2 disproportionation, bringing into question the prevalence of any surface growth under practical conditions. We describe a unified O2 reduction mechanism, which can explain all found capacity relations and Li2O2 morphologies with exclusive solution discharge. Determining particle morphology and achievable capacities are species mobilities, true areal rate, and the degree of LiO2 association in solution. Capacity is conclusively limited by mass transport through the tortuous Li2O2 rather than electron transport through a passivating Li2O2 film. Provided that species mobilities and surface growth are high, high capacities are also achieved with weakly solvating electrolytes, which were previously considered prototypical for low capacity via surface growth.

Abstract
The disproportionation of LiO2 to Li2O2 is a key step in Li-O2 batteries, and it is regarded as a second-order reaction. However, its mechanism is not well addressed, and its kinetics is rarely studied due to the difficulties of quantifying the rate constants, particularly for high concentrations of superoxide (>10 mM). Here, we quantified the kinetic rate constant by a microkinetic model using a microelectrode tip with a thin diffusion layer and fast response. We report that the reaction order of LiO2 transitions from 1 at high concentrations of superoxide (∼20 mM) to 2 at low concentrations of superoxide (∼1 mM). LiO2 is chemically reduced by free superoxides to form Li2O2 and O2, instead of reacting with another LiO2 via a disproportionation step. This chemical-reduction mechanism explained the change of reaction order and the kinetics profile. As a rate-determining step, this step restricts the overall kinetics of the discharging process and should be the focus of future catalyst design.

Abstract
This work provides a novel strategy of optimal utilization of fluoroethylene carbonate to generate a uniform and compact solid electrolyte interface film, enhancing the cycle life of potassium ion batteries. With K foil being treated with fluoroethylene carbonate prior to use, enhanced cycling performance up to 1200 hours was achieved. Combining in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with the distribution of relaxation time analysis and XPS analysis, the solubility of KF in the electrolyte is proposed as a crucial factor to determine the quality of a solid electrolyte interface. Our work contributes to understanding the role and manipulating the usage of the fluoroethylene carbonate additive in potassium ion batteries.

Abstract
In this study the fundamental understanding of the underlying reactions of a possible Ca-O2 battery using a DMSO-based electrolyte was strengthened. Employing the rotating ring disc electrode, a transition from a mixed process of O2 - and O2 2- formation to an exclusive O2 - formation at gold electrodes is observed. It is shown that in this system Ca-superoxide and Ca-peroxide are formed as soluble species. However, there is a strongly adsorbed layer of products of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) s on the electrode surface, which is blocking the electrode. Surprisingly the blockade is only a partial blockade for the formation of peroxide while the formation of superoxide is maintained. During an anodic sweep, the ORR product layer is stripped from the electrode surface. With X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) the deposited ORR products were shown to be Ca(O2 )2 , CaO2 , and CaO as well as side-reaction products such as CO3 2- and other oxygen-containing carbon species. It is shown that the strongly attached layer on the electrocatalyst, that was partially blocking the electrode, could be adsorbed CaO. The disproportionation reaction of O2 - in presence of Ca2+ was demonstrated via mass spectrometry. Finally, the ORR mediated by 2,5-di-tert-1,4-benzoquinone (DBBQ) was investigated by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and XPS. Similar products as without DBBQ are deposited on the electrode surface. The analysis of the DEMS experiments shows that DBBQ- reduces O2 to O2 - and O2 2- , whereas in the presence of DBBQ2- O2 2- is formed. The mechanism of the ORR with and without DBBQ is discussed.

Abstract
The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C requires a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions across many sectors of the world economy. Batteries are vital to this endeavor, whether used in electric vehicles, to store renewable electricity, or in aviation. Present lithium-ion technologies are preparing the public for this inevitable change, but their maximum theoretical specific capacity presents a limitation. Their high cost is another concern for commercial viability. Metal-air batteries have the highest theoretical energy density of all possible secondary battery technologies and could yield step changes in energy storage, if their practical difficulties could be overcome. The scope of this review is to provide an objective, comprehensive, and authoritative assessment of the intensive work invested in nonaqueous rechargeable metal-air batteries over the past few years, which identified the key problems and guides directions to solve them. We focus primarily on the challenges and outlook for Li-O2 cells but include Na-O2, K-O2, and Mg-O2 cells for comparison. Our review highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this field that involves a combination of materials chemistry, electrochemistry, computation, microscopy, spectroscopy, and surface science. The mechanisms of O2 reduction and evolution are considered in the light of recent findings, along with developments in positive and negative electrodes, electrolytes, electrocatalysis on surfaces and in solution, and the degradative effect of singlet oxygen, which is typically formed in Li-O2 cells.

Abstract
The oxygen reduction and evolution reaction in the presence of sodium ions in an organic solvent is studied on well-defined Pt electrode surfaces.
Sodium–oxygen battery cathodes utilise the reversible redox species of oxygen in the presence of sodium ions. However, the oxygen reduction and evolution reaction mechanism is yet to be conclusively determined. In order to examine the part played by surface structure in sodium–oxygen electrochemistry for the development of catalytic materials and structures, a method of preparing clean, well-defined Pt electrode surfaces for adsorption studies in aprotic solvents is described. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and in situ electrochemical shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), the various stages of oxygen reduction as a function of potential have been determined. It is found that on Pt{111} and Pt{110}-(1 × 1) terraces, a long lived surface sodium peroxide species is formed reversibly, whereas on Pt{100} and polycrystalline electrodes, this species is not detected.
