Lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3) is generally considered to be stable and an insulator from the previous research on Li-O 2 batteries. Due to the stability of Li 2 CO 3, the initial research on Li-CO 2 batteries considered them primary batteries, because Li 2 CO 3 is very difficult to decompose to initiate the reverse reaction.
Lithium-CO 2 batteries are the most studied type of metal-CO 2 batteries due to the intrinsic benefits of the lithium metal. The common discharge products of both Li-CO 2 and Li-CO 2 /O 2 batteries are lithium carbonate and carbon.
The discharge capacity in this primary Li-CO 2 cell is comparable to the discharge capacity of initial Li-O 2 batteries and initial Li-O 2 /CO 2 batteries. [93, 94] As shown in Fig. 4, the authors observed lithium carbonate as a discharge product by using XRD to characterize the cathode after discharge. Xu et al. proposed Eq.
Significantly, lithium nitrate (LiNO 3), an excellent film-forming additive, proves crucial to construct a robust Li 3 N/Li 2 O/Li x NO y -rich SEI after combining with ether-based electrolytes. Thus, the given challenge leads to natural ideas which suggest the incorporation of LiNO 3 into commercial carbonate for practical LMBs.
Xu et al. proposed Eq. (1) as the electrochemical reaction for this cell, in which Li metal reacts directly with CO 2 to form lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3) and carbon. This reaction was selected from several known reactions by comparing theoretical equilibrium potentials of each reaction with the observed discharge potential of the cell.
By routing oxygen and carbon dioxide into suitable metal-air batteries, a combined battery structure using both metal-carbon dioxide and metal-oxygen batteries could provide a high stability and high-capacity energy storage solution for a renewable energy supply network. 8.
