Redox mediation is an innovative strategy for ensuring efficient energy harvesting from metal-oxygen systems. This work presents a systematic exploratory anal. of first-row transition-metal phthalocyanines as solution-state redox mediators for lithium-oxygen batteries. Our findings, based on experiment and theory, convincingly demonstrate that d5 (Mn), d7 (Co), and d8 (Ni) configurations function better compared to d6 (Fe) and d9 (Cu) in redox mediation of the discharge step. The d10 configuration (Zn) and non-d analogs (Mg) do not show any redox mediation because of the inability of binding with oxygen. The solution-state discharge product, transition-metal bound Li2O2, undergoes dissociation and oxidation in the charging step of the battery, thus confirming a bifunctional redox mediation. Apart from the reaction pathways predicted based on thermodn. considerations, d. functional theory calculations also reveal interesting effects of electrochem. perturbation on the redox mediation mechanisms and the role of the transition-metal center.
