title: Reaction and degradation mechanism in all-solid-state lithium-air batteries.
abstract: The reaction and degradation mechanism in all-solid-state Li-air batteries was investigated to improve the cycling performance. It is suggested that Li2O2 is first produced by the H2O-mediated electrochemical reactions during discharging and Li2CO3 is produced by the following chemical reactions. Disruption of the CNTs and residual discharge products, which cause the capacity degradation during cycling, were observed.
