Rechargeable aqueous Zn–CO 2 battery is a promising technology that combines energy
storage and CO 2 utilization to meet the needs of sustainable and eco–friendly energy.
However, the practical application of this technology is hindered by factors such as the low
current density, low Faradaic efficiency of value–added products, high overpotential, and
limited cycles. Cathode catalysts, which are crucial components, significantly influence the
performance of the system. There have been several updated publications on cathode …

Looking towards the economical and efficient carbon dioxide (CO 2) utilization, metal-CO 2
batteries uphold a great potential to enhance the efficiency of CO 2 conversion to fuels.
Pertaining to this, we have fabricated B, N-containing carbon with tubular morphology (C-
BN@ 600) derived from ionic liquid (IL) and metal-organic framework (MOF) composite as
cathode catalyst with Zn foil anode for aqueous rechargeable Zn-CO 2 battery. The C-BN@
600 catalyst demonstrate a remarkable activity towards electrochemical CO 2 reduction to …
