Highlights The unique layered structure and excellent photoelectric properties of MoS2 facilitate the abundant generation and rapid transfer of photo-excited carriers, which accelerate the CO2 reduction and Li2CO3 decomposition upon illumination. MoS2-based photo-energized Li–CO2 battery displays ultra-low charge voltage of 3.27 V, high energy efficiency of 90.2%, superior cycling stability after 120 cycles and high rate capability. The low-temperature Li–CO2 battery achieves an ultra-low charge voltage of 3.4 V at –30 °C with a round-trip efficiency of 86.6%.
