Ethanol vapor-driven multicarbon chemistry enables high-performance Mg-CO₂ battery.

ABSTRACT: Recent advancements in metal-CO₂ batteries with enhanced energy efficiency in a sustainable manner largely rely on catalytic improvements to accelerate the sluggish kinetics of the CO₂ reduction and evolution reactions (CO₂RR/CO₂ER) occurring at the multiphase interface. However, conventional solid and liquid catalysts often increase the adsorption of both reactant gas and solid-phase discharge products, lowering discharge overpotentials but impeding product decomposition during charging. This trade-off complicates efforts to simultaneously reduce charge-discharge overpotentials and improve overall battery efficiency. Here, we introduce an ethanol vapor-driven strategy for Mg-CO₂ batteries-distinct from traditional solid and liquid cat
