Non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-O₂) batteries have been considered as the superior energy storage system due to their high-energy density, however, some challenges limit the practical application of Li-O₂ batteries. One of them is the lack of stable electrolyte. In this communication, a novel electrolyte with ethylene sulfite (ES) used as solvent for Li-O₂ batteries was reported. ES solvent showed low volatility and high electrochemical stability. Without a catalyst in the air-electrode of Li-O₂ batteries, the batteries showed high specific capacity, good round-trip efficiency and cycling stability.
