The development of moisture-tolerant, LiOH-based non-aqueous Li-O₂ batteries is a promising route to bypass the inherent limitations caused by the instability of their typical discharge products, LiO₂ and Li₂O₂. The use of the I⁻/I₃⁻ redox couple to mediate the LiOH-based oxygen reduction and oxidation reactions has proven challenging due to the multiple reaction paths induced by the oxidation of I⁻ on cell charging. In this work, we introduce an ionic liquid to a glyme-based electrolyte containing LiI and water and demonstrate a reversible LiOH-based Li-O₂ battery cycling that operates via a 4 e⁻/O₂ process with a low charging overpotential (below 3.5 V versus Li/Li⁺). The addition of the ionic liquid increases the oxidizing power of I₃⁻, shifting the charging mechanism from IO⁻/IO₃⁻ formation to O₂ evolution.
