Abstract

Carbon dioxide electrocatalytic reduction rates are strongly impacted by the choice of electrolyte, but most studies have focused on aqueous systems. It is now reported that in non-aqueous solvents, smaller alkylammonium cations better stabilize the CO₂δ^– transition state on Ag electrodes.
