Thus, we report, for the first time, the oxygen reduction mechanisms and discharge products in a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid in the presence of different Na+ ion concentrations. Upon increasing the Na+ salt concentration, oxygen reduction becomes more efficient (e.g. 74%) and the onset potential of the reduction process shifts to a more positive value due to superior solvation of the superoxide anion by Na+. These observations should provide a platform of potential electrolytes for Na–air batteries.
