For the first time, the authors proposed mathematical models and direct methodology to evaluate the oxygen transport phenomena in the Li-air battery. The reviewers speak highly of the work: "The manuscript reports a method of in-situ diffusivity measurement. The rechargeable Li-air battery could be a potentially renewable energy. However, it suffers from cycling fading and low rate capability, mostly resulting from the problem of cathode. Improvements in this problem require new methods to study and oxygen diffisuvity measurements are presented in this study one such method. Authors used electrochemistry for accurate measurement of oxygen diffusivity. The manuscript is generally written and structured well. Therefore, I recommend acceptance as it is."
