Lithium-carbon dioxide batteries have theoretical promise, including in aviation where the lightweight materials are desirable – it might might make good use of Mars’ 96% CO2 atmosphere, for example. Headline figures are a theoretical specific energy density of 1,876Wh/kg and a ~2.8V discharge potential, but in practical terms the technology has not even reached infancy. To build a solid ...
