An agent for change

The rechargeable Li–O₂ battery has low energy efficiency, which is mainly due to kinetic difficulties in the electrochemical oxidation of the insulating discharge product, Li₂O₂. Now a redox mediator, acting as an electron–hole transfer agent, has been used to promote this oxidation reaction.
