Fluorine-confined catalytic sites for augmented p–d hybridization promoting flow-type aqueous Zn–CO<sub>2</sub> batteries
We developed fluorinated-MOF to confine Zn catalytic sites to address the low performance of the cathodic electrochemical CO<sub>2</sub> reduction reaction (eCO<sub>2</sub>RR). The electronegative fluorine atom redistributed the electrons of Zn sites, boosting CO faradaic efficiency to 96.9% and permitting high peak power density (2.57 mW cm<sup>-2</sup>) in aqueous flow-type Zn-CO<sub>2</sub> batteries. The Zn-CO<sub>2</sub> battery produced CO and electricity simultaneously.
