[a] Based on Ref. 77. [b] Equilibrium potential on the NHE scale.77 [c] Uncertainties (1σ) of the fit to a constant are indicated. [d] Nernst slope of the disk on the NHE scale. [e] Nernst slope of the disk on the RHE scale. [f] In aqueous brine against Ag counter;76 the estimated experimental onset of delithiation from LiMn2O4 is ≈0.7 V versus NHE (≈1.5 V versus RHE).
