Lithium–O<sub>2</sub> (Li–O<sub>2</sub>) batteries
are currently limited by a large charge overpotential at practically
relevant current densities, and the origin of this overpotential has
been heavily debated in the literature. This paper presents a series
of electrochemical impedance measurements suggesting that the increase
in charge potential is not caused by an increase in the internal resistance.
It is proposed that the potential shift is instead dictated by a mixed
potential of parasitic reactions and Li<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> oxidation.
The measurements also confirm that the rapid potential loss near the
end of discharge (“sudden death”) is explained by an
increase in the charge transport resistance. The findings confirm
that our theory and conclusions in ref , based on experiments on smooth small-area glassy
carbon cathodes, are equally valid in real Li–O<sub>2</sub> batteries with porous cathodes. The parameter variations performed
in this paper are used to develop the understanding of the electrochemical
impedance, which will be important for further improvement of the
Li–air battery
