Towards the rational design of cathode and electrolyte materials for aprotic Li–CO2 batteries

A lithium-carbon dioxide (Li–CO₂) battery offers an effective and efficient approach for the simultaneously CO₂ capture and electrical energy generation. However, the useful guidance for the electrode design and the electrolyte selection is still lacking. Herein, we carry out numerical analyses on the effects of design parameters on the discharge voltage plateau and specific capacity.
