“…[15][16][17] Among these, aqueous Zn-CO 2 batteries have gained considerable attention due to their product diversity, room-temperature operation, low cost of Zn metal, resource abundance and benefits for industrial production. 18 Furthermore, this aqueous battery system serves as an ultimate and responsible medium for the tunable electrochemistry of CO 2 . It can regulate the generation of fuels, valuable chemicals (e.g., HCOOH, CO, C 2 H 4 and alcohols), and electricity through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) steps.…”
