Alkali metal–carbon dioxide (Li/Na/K‐CO2) batteries are emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies in the context of the energy crisis and the urgent demand for carbon neutrality. Alkali metal–CO2 batteries offer a new strategy for CO2 fixation and utilization, and thus has been receiving considerable attention in recent years. Considerable progress has been achieved since alkali metal–CO2 batteries were invented, especially in terms of development of new electrode materials, and yet, research is lacking on the underlying mechanisms of the systems. This is the first typical review focusing on the electrochemical mechanisms of metal–CO2 batteries that summarizes the current understanding of and provides insights into the thermodynamic reaction pathways, the kinetic characteristics, and the crucial factors determining the reaction mechanisms in alkali metal–CO2 batteries. The review starts with the fundamental concepts of alkali metal–CO2 batteries, followed by a comprehensive discussion of the working mechanisms on cathodes and anodes. Moreover, the operation mechanisms of state‐of‐the‐art electrolytes, including liquid and (quasi‐)solid‐state electrolytes, are also described. Finally, we identify the unsolved problems in current alkali metal–CO2 batteries and propose potential topics for future research.

“…Plasmonic Ru catalysts are also beneficial to CÀ O bond cleavage during discharging and CO 2 evolution during charging of Li-CO 2 batteries; this is attributed to the energetic hot carriers produced by nonradiative decay of localized surface plasmons. [88] Besides, a wide-temperature all-solid-state Li-air battery was demonstrated that could operate from À 73 to 120 °C; the key to this battery was the plasmonic photothermal cathode composed of ruthenium oxide nanoparticles assembled on carbon nanotubes (Figure 6d). [117] The cathode captured a broad solar spectrum from 200 to 2500 nm and converted it to heat for warming up the battery while stabilizing the substantial charge carrier concentration caused by oxygen vacancies.…”

Metal-air batteries are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage devices owing to their ultrahigh theoretical specific energy. However, sluggish cathode kinetics (O 2 and CO 2 reduction/evolution) result in large overpotentials and low round-trip efficiencies which seriously hinder their practical applications. Utilizing light to drive slow cathode processes has increasingly becoming a promising solution to this issue. Considering the rapid development and emerging issues of this field, this Review summarizes the current understanding of light-assisted metalair batteries in terms of configurations and mechanisms, provides general design strategies and specific examples of photocathodes, systematically discusses the influence of light on batteries, and finally identifies existing gaps and future priorities for the development of practical light-assisted metal-air batteries.

“…The battery displayed a lifetime of 15 cycles and a high discharge capacity of 3600 mAh g −1 at −73 °C (Figure 6c). Plasmonic Ru catalysts are also beneficial to C−O bond cleavage during discharging and CO 2 evolution during charging of Li–CO 2 batteries; this is attributed to the energetic hot carriers produced by nonradiative decay of localized surface plasmons [88] . Besides, a wide‐temperature all‐solid‐state Li–air battery was demonstrated that could operate from −73 to 120 °C; the key to this battery was the plasmonic photothermal cathode composed of ruthenium oxide nanoparticles assembled on carbon nanotubes (Figure 6d) [117] .…”
