As an emerging green energy storage and conversion system, rechargeable Li-CO(2) batteries have undergone extensive research due to their ultra-high energy density and their significant role in greenhouse gas CO(2) conversion. However, current Li-CO(2) batteries have some shortcomings that severely limit their large-scale application. The most critical problems involve the insulation of the discharge product Li(2)CO(3) and the slow decomposition kinetics, meaning that the battery generates a large overpotential and has a low cycle life, so the ...
