Recently, researchers have also found out the instability of electrolyte and carbon electrode under the high charging potential (>3.5 But the necessity of catalysts has been argued, because the catalyst on carbon may not be able to work once its surface is blocked. V), which contributes to the low rechargeability. oxygen batteries.
