Ammonium ionic liquid cation promotes electrochemical CO2 reduction to ethylene over formate while inhibiting the hydrogen evolution on a copper electrode

Ashok Kumar Ummireddi et al.

Summary: New research has shown that by altering the cations of ionic liquids, it is possible to enhance the ethylene production rate and selectivity of CO2 reduction on copper electrodes. Among the investigated cations, tetraethylammonium showed the best performance, attributed to its moderate Bader charge on N and high pK(a) of hydration.

Absence of CO2 electroreduction on copper, gold and silver electrodes without metal cations in solution

Mariana C. O. Monteiro et al.

Summary: The study found that metal cations play a crucial role in stabilizing the CO2 intermediate during the reduction process on gold electrodes. Density functional theory simulations confirmed that partially desolvated metal cations enable the reduction by stabilizing the CO2- intermediate through short-range electrostatic interactions. In conclusion, the positively charged species from the electrolyte are key to stabilizing the crucial reaction intermediate.
