To date, the effect of noble metal (NM) electronic structures on CO2 reaction activity remains unknown, and explicit screening criteria are still lacking for designing highly efficient catalysts in CO2 -breathing batteries. Herein, by preferentially considering the decomposition of key intermediate Li2 CO3 , an intrinsic descriptor constituted of the d x 2 - y 2 ${{\rm{d}}}_{{x}^2 - {y}^2}$ orbital states and the electronegativity for predicting high-performance cathode material are discovered. As a demonstration, a series of graphene-supported noble metals (NMG) as cathodes are fabricated via a fast laser scribing technique. Consistent with the preliminary prediction, Pd@G exhibits an ultralow overpotential (0.41 V), along with superior cycling performance up to 1400 h. Moreover, the overall thermodynamic reaction pathways on NM@G confirm the reliability of the established intrinsic descriptor. This basic finding of the relationship between the electronic properties of noble metal cathodes and the performance of Li-CO2 batteries provides a novel avenue for designing remarkably efficient cathode materials for metal-CO2 batteries
