The article conveys some information:
Redox mediators (RMs) are solution-based additives that have been extensively used to reduce the charge potential and increase the energy efficiency of Li-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. However, in the presence of RMs, achieving a long cycle-life operation of Li-O2 batteries at a high current rate is still a major challenge. In this study, we discover a novel synergy among InX3 (X = I and Br) bifunctional RMs, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoflakes as the air electrode, DMSO/ionic liquid hybrid electrolyte, and LiTFSI as a salt to achieve long cycle-life operations of Li-O2 batteries in a dry air environment at high charge-discharge rates. Our results indicate that batteries with InI3 operate up to 450 cycles with a c.d. of 0.5 A g-1 and 217 cycles with a c.d. of 1 A g-1 at a fixed capacity of 1 A h g-1. Batteries with InBr3 operate up to 600 cycles with a c.d. of 1 A g-1. These batteries can also operate at a higher charge rate of 2 A g-1 up to 200 cycles (for InBr3) and 160 cycles (for InI3). Our exptl. and computational results reveal that while X3- is the source of the redox mediator, LiX at the MoS2 cathode, In3+ reacts on the lithium anode side to form a protective layer on the surface, thus acting as an effective bifunctional RM in a dry air environment. This evidence for a simultaneous improvement in the current rates and cycle life of a battery in a dry air atm. opens a new direction for research for advanced energy storage systems.

Indium(III) bromide(cas: 13465-09-3) is used in organic synthesis as a water tolerant Lewis acid. It efficiently catalyzes the three-component coupling of β-keto esters, aldehydes and urea (or thiourea) to afford the corresponding dihydropyrimidinones.HPLC of Formula: 13465-09-3
