Upgrading carbon utilization and green energy storage through oxygen-assisted lithium-carbon dioxide batteries

This work provides a mechanistic understanding of oxygen-assisted Li-CO₂ batteries, evaluates battery environments, component configurations, as well as simulation and modelling methodologies, and highlights the key challenges, strategies, and perspectives for future oxygen-assisted Li-CO₂ or even metal-CO₂/oxygen batteries. Directions for unified preparation/testing protocols, oxygen conditioning strategies, component/structure design, and theoretical innovations are presented in terms of practical applications.
