One of the major challenges with Li-O2 batteries is that the discharge product, Li2O2, blocks the gas pathway because of its poor solubility in aprotic solvents. In this work, 12-crown-4 ether was used as an additive to capture Li+, and its influence on the solubility of the discharge products of the oxygen electrode was investigated. Multiple electrochemical methods, including cyclic voltammetry and rotating-ring disk electrode, were used. The results show that the addition of only 5% of 12-crown-4 ether significantly improves the stability of the oxygen reduction product $\text{O}_{2}^{-}$, and decreases the formation of solid Li2O2. We used a combination of the hard-soft-acid-base theory and ab initio calculations to explain these observations %U http://www.whxb.pku.edu.cn/CN/Y2016/V32/I1/343
