Abstract
In this study, we propose a critical kinetics descriptor, <italic>i.e.</italic>, the adsorption energy of the LiCO<sub>2</sub> intermediate on the cathode surface, to reveal the interplay and competition between the solution- and the surface-mediated pathways toward better Li–CO<sub>2</sub> batteries.
