(a) Rietveld refinement of the high-resolution X-ray diffraction pattern of the chemically synthesized LiOOH·H2O phase. The wavelength is λ=0.41423±0.00004 Å. The R factors of Rietveld refinement are Rp=6.10 %, Rwp=7.86%, χ2=2.93. (b) Raman spectra of Li2O2, LiOH, LiOOH·H2O and that of the discharge product collected from the cathode of a Li-O2 cell without water or containing 9.1 vol.% H2O in the electrolyte.
