Charge processes of the Li-O₂battery. Images captured at 0 s, 900 s, 1800 s, and 3200 s show the decomposition process of the spherical particle. Eight volts was applied on SACNT vs. Li metal to initiate the charge process. Red arrows indicate the position where the particle decomposed. Note that the electron beam was on only during image acquisition, to minimize the irradiation effect.^[48]
