Electrochemical reduction of CO2 in ionic liquid: Mechanistic study of Li-CO2 batteries via in situ ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms of CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) and CO2 evolution reaction (CER) is crucial for the development of stable and efficient Li-CO2 batteries. The study shows that using an ionic liquid can enhance the kinetics of CRR, but the presence of H2O can lead to severe electrolyte degradation. Additionally, the assistance of O2 in the ionic liquid-based electrolyte can improve the rechargeability and kinetics of CRR in Li-CO2 batteries.

Mechanism-of-Action Elucidation of Reversible Li-CO2 Batteries Using the Water-in-Salt Electrolyte

Ningning Feng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the reaction mechanism of Li-CO2 batteries with different cathodes using water-in-salt (WIS) as the electrolyte. The Mo2C-based Li-CO2 battery with WIS shows higher energy efficiency and superior cyclability compared to the CNT-based counterpart. The difference in CO2 reduction products is attributed to the stronger interaction between Mo2C and Li2C2O4, leading to the selective stabilization of the intermediate product on the Mo2C surface.

Kinetics of the CO2 reduction reaction in aprotic Li-CO2 batteries: a model study

Zhiwei Zhao et al.

Summary: The aprotic Li-CO2 battery technology has potential for energy conversion, storage, and CO2 recycling, but current issues with sluggish CO2 reduction kinetics hinder efficiency. By understanding the kinetics of CO2RR, particularly the adsorption energy of LiCO2 intermediate, it is possible to optimize Li-CO2 battery performance by favoring the solution-mediated pathway. This study sheds light on the kinetics of Li-CO2 electrochemistry, aiding in the design of improved Li-CO2 batteries.
