ABSTRACT
Because of their high theoretical energy density, metal-CO2 batteries based on Li, Na, or K have attracted increasing attention recently for meeting the growing demands of CO2 recycling and conversion into electrical energy. However, the scarcity of active anode material resources, high cost, as well as safety concerns of Li, Na, and K create obstacles for practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time a high-efficiency (η = 77.2%) rechargeable Fe-CO2 battery that is composed of iron (Fe) anode and MoS2-catalysts deposited carbon cathode. MoS2 catalysts are crucial to the successful acceleration of reaction kinetics of Fe during charge and discharge with a minimum overpotential of the cell. The Fe-CO2 cell has a higher initial specific capacity of 12,500 mA h g-1 with an average discharge potential of 0.65 V and operates reversibly with a lower overpotential than that of Li-CO2 batteries with a cutoff capacity of 500 mA h g-1. Our Fe-CO2 battery can effectively convert CO2 greenhouse gas into electrical energy by consuming 1 ton of CO2 with usage of 1.23 tons of iron.
