We report that the large voltage hysteresis between charge and discharge results in significant energy loss, which hinders practical application of the high-energy Li-O₂ battery. Oxyhalogen-sulfur electrochemistry offers a new hybrid Li-ion/Li-O₂ battery, where both Li ions and O anions are reversibly stored in the MoS₂ structure. A Li₂MoO₂S₂ compound is formed as the main discharge product that has never been previously observed in the literature. The reaction mechanism and the structure of the Li₂MoO₂S₂ are probed by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The results show that the MoS₂ is oxidized during discharge and is recovered during charge. The iodine intermediates play an important role in triggering the sequence of electrochemical and chemical reactions in the cell. Finally, the Li₂MoO₂S₂ is isostructural to the Li₂MoO₄ rather than adopting structures of other known molybdenum oxysulfides.
