Abstract:
A closer look: Solid-state (7) Li and (17) O NMR spectroscopy is a valuable tool in the characterization of products formed in the lithium-oxygen battery, a necessary step in the development of a viable cell. Since lithium peroxide, the desired discharge product, has a unique (17) O NMR signature, it can be clearly identified.
