Abstract Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into valuable carbon‐based fuels and chemicals represents a promising approach to closing the cycle setting circular economy. Nevertheless, for current electrocatalytic CO reduction reaction (ECO RR) systems, realizing 100% with simultaneously high overall rate (i.e., single‐pass conversion) Faradaic efficiency (FE) remains significant challenge. Enhancing often results in decrease FE, conversely, improving FE may limit rate. Metal–CO (M–CO batteries functions face similar challenges, particularly reversible M–CO batteries, which do not accomplish net because nearly all RR products are reoxidized during subsequent charging process. Such system neutrality poses substantial challenges. This perspective provides an in‐depth analysis state‐of‐the‐art ECO systems alongside main strategies employed address their respective The critical importance achieving both is underscored practical applications effectively close cycle. Furthermore, strategic roadmap that outlines future research directions presented, thereby facilitating advancement comprehensive electroconversion technologies.
