Novel DMSO-based electrolyte for high performance rechargeable Li-O2 batteries.

A dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) based electrolyte is first proposed for rechargeable lithium-O(2) (Li-O(2)) batteries. Superior battery performances, including high discharge capacity and low charge potential, are successfully obtained.
