Abstract
Li–CO2 batteries following Li2CO3-product route suffer from low output voltage and severe parasitic reactions. Herein, a soluble binuclear copper(I) complex is introduced as the liquid catalyst to achieve Li2C2O4 products in Li–CO2 batteries, which increases their output voltage to higher than 3.0 V.
