Although rechargeable lithium-oxygen ($Li-O_2$) batteries have attracted much attention due to their outstanding gravimetric energy densities, the practical applications of this promising energy system have been impeded by a number of technical issues such as low efficiency, poor cycle life, and instability of cell components. In particular, the parasitic reactions involving the degradation of air-cathode materials or electrolyte are strongly associated with the performances of $Li-O_2$ batteries. Furthermore, the destabilization of the Li metal interface by crossover water and oxygen from the air-cathode side can also cause as fatal degradation for the cycle life as the irreversibility of the air-cathode. Thus, robust materials which can endure radical attack and chemical degradation as well as protective layer for Li metal should be introduced for stable $Li-O_2$ batteries. To resolve these issues, in spite of our previous research related to electrolyte, here, it reports that 1) well-dispersed $Pt_3Co$ catalysts can reduce charging overpotential significantly, 2) racial scavengers can suppress the radical attack toward cell components such as electrolyte and air-cathode, resulting in increased cycling performance, 3) cheap poreless polyurethane separator can effectively suppress oxygen crossover while allowing Li ions to diffuse through selectively leading to enhanced lifespan of Li metal anode, and 4) carbon-free mesoporous TiN cathode combined with redox mediator and polyurethane separator can show stable cycling performance by alleviating carbon-induced decomposition and Li metal destabilization during cell operations. This dissertation provides a message that the problem should be viewed in a systematic manner to resolve the issues from all of the cell components, and an integrated approach should be introduced to improve the cycle lives of $Li-O_2$ batteries.
