A rotating ring disk electrode study of the oxygen reduction reaction in lithium containing dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte: Role of superoxide

We have employed the rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) technique to study the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on gold and glassy carbon cathodes in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) electrolytes containing lithium salts. At the gold ring electrode at 3.0 V vs. Li/Li+ (0.1 M LiPF6) soluble superoxide radic...
