Abstract

The decomposition reaction of H₂O₂ aqueous solutions (H₂O₂ → H₂O+ 1/2 O₂) catalyzed by transition metal oxide powders has been compared with the charging voltage of nonaqueous Li-O₂ cells containing the same catalyst. An inverse linear relationship between Ln k (rate constant for the H₂O ₂ decomposition) and the charging voltage has been found, despite differences in media and possible mechanistic differences. The results suggest that the H₂O₂ decomposition may be a reliable, useful, and fast screening tool for materials that promote the charging process of the Li-O₂ battery and may ultimately give insight into the charging mechanism.
