Abstract
A soluble catalyst for a lithium-air battery is provided. The soluble catalyst including a redox mediator (RM) has an ionization energy of about 5.5 to 7.5 eV under vacuum or an oxidation potential of 3.0 to 4.0 V and is well dissolved in an electrolyte without reacting with the electrolyte. In addition, the soluble catalyst has a HOMO level in an original state (RM), which is less than a formation energy of lithium peroxide (LiO) but maximally close to the formation energy, and has a HOMO level in an oxidized state (RM), which is greater than a HOMO level of the electrolyte.
