TL;DR: In this paper, a fundamental study of the influence of solvents on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in nonaqueous electrolytes has been carried out for elucidating the mechanism of the oxygen electrode processes in the rechargeable Li−air battery.
Abstract: A fundamental study of the influence of solvents on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in nonaqueous electrolytes has been carried out for elucidating the mechanism of the oxygen electrode processes in the rechargeable Li−air battery. Using either tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) or lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) electrolyte solutions in four different solvents, namely, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile (MeCN), dimethoxyethane (DME), and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), possessing a range of donor numbers (DN), we have determined that the solvent and the supporting electrolyte cations in the solution act in concert to influence the nature of reduction products and their rechargeability. In solutions containing TBA+, O2 reduction is a highly reversible one-electron process involving the O2/O2− couple. On the other hand, in Li+-containing electrolytes relevant to the Li−air battery, O2 reduction proceeds in a stepwise fashion to form O2−, O22−, and O2− as products. Th...

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of changes in ionic strength on the adsorption behavior of selenite and selenate on goethite and hydrous ferric oxide have been modeled using a generalized version of the triple-layer surface complexation model.
Abstract: The effects of changes in ionic strength on the adsorption behavior of selenite (SeO32−) and selenate (SeO42−) on goethite and hydrous ferric oxide have been modeled using a generalized version of the triple-layer surface complexation model. Selenite adsorption, which is relatively unaffected by changes in ionic strength, is best modeled assuming that selenite forms an inner-sphere (surface coordination) complex; selenate adsorption, which is markedly reduced by increasing ionic strength, is best modeled assuming that selenate forms an outer-sphere (ion-pair) surface complex. The modeling results suggest that it is possible to distinguish between inner-sphere and outer-sphere anion surface complexes by studying the effects of ionic strength on anion partitioning.
