Several years passed, and in both theoretical formulations and experiments, it gradually emerged that the existence of compounds such as lithium oxides could not be completely discounted. In particular, in the last ten years, a number of people have continued to explore this research direction, and have demonstrated that compounds of lithium and oxygen really do exist.
過了幾年，從理論及實驗中，逐漸發現鋰氧這樣的組合並非無中生有，尤其近十年來不斷有人繼續朝此方向探索研究，已經證實鋰和氧的分子組合的確存在。
