Abstract
Lithium-carbon dioxide (Li−CO2) batteries have gained wide attention in recent years due to their high energy density and effective CO2 fixation and conversion. However, the sluggish CO2 transformation kinetics always result in high polarization voltage and poor cycling stability, seriously impeding their development. Electrochemical catalysts especially transition metal (TM)-based ones with modulated micro- and electronic-structure have attracted significant interest and exhibited great promising in promoting the CO2 reduction and evolution reactions owing to their unique d orbital. In this review, we summarize the hot modifying strategies and the related mechanism of TM-based catalysts including Ru, Ir, Pt and non-nobel transition metals such as Mo, Co, Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cr, Cd, V, In, W and Re etc. applied in Li−CO2 batteries. The latest research progress along with some remaining issues is discussed in detail. Finally, the perspectives and challenges of TMs-based catalysts for Li−CO2 battery are presented, aiming to provide valuable guidance for the design and optimization of advanced cathodic catalysts in high-efficiency Li−CO2 batteries.
