Rechargeable Li-CO2 batteries offer great promise by combining carbon capture and energy technology. However, the discharge product Li2CO3 is difficult to decompose upon recharging. In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high electrical conductivity and porous three-dimensional networks were firstly explored as air cathodes for rechargeable Li-CO2 batteries.
