In laboratory experiments, Li–O2 systems show “sudden death” at capacities far below the theoretical value. Identifying how discharge products limit the total capacity is crucial in Li–O2 system. We investigated the effect of Li2O2 seed layer deposited on carbon cathode under potentiostatic conditio...
