Lithium–oxygen (Li–O₂) batteries possess the highest theoretical energy density (3500 Wh kg^–1), which makes them attractive candidates for modern electronics and transportation applications. In this work, an inexpensive, flexible, and wearable Li–O₂ battery based on the bifunctional redox mediator of InBr₃, MoS₂ cathode catalyst, and Fomblin-based oxygen permeable membrane that enable long-cycle-life operation of the battery in pure oxygen, dry air, and ambient air is designed, fabricated, and tested. The battery operates in ambient air with an open system air-breathing architecture and exhibits excellent cycling up to 240 at the high current density of 1 A g^–1 with a relative humidity of 75%. The electrochemical performance of the battery including deep-discharge capacity, and rate capability remains almost identical after 1000 cycle in a bending fatigue test. Furthermore, this finding opens a new direction for utilizing high performance Li–O₂ batteries for applications in the field of flexible and wearable electronics.
