The front cover image depicts a redox shuttle reaction of NO2−/NO2 molecules with a toroid-shaped lithium peroxide in a lithium oxygen battery, aimed at electric vehicle applications. Oxygen gas is recovered from lithium peroxide during the shuttle reaction, which is efficiently promoted in a solvent with a high dielectric constant and good compatibility with the lithium metal anode.
