Abstract
The deposition and dissolution of sodium superoxide (NaO<sub>2</sub>) was investigated by atomic force microscopy. Rectangular prisms consisting of 8 smaller sub-structures grew from NaO<sub>2</sub> platelets, when discharged in 0.5 M NaClO<sub>4</sub>, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite. During oxidation the 8 sub-structures are conserved. Ring-like structures of Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> of 200 nm diameter remain at the end of oxidation.
