Rechargeable Li-O₂ and Li-air batteries require electrode and electrolyte materials that synergistcally promote long-term cell operation. We investigate the role of noble metals Pt and Pd as catalysts for the Li-O₂ oxidation process and their compatibility with a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) based electrolyte. Lastly, we identify a basis for low potential Li₂O₂ evolution followed by oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte to form carbonate side products.
