Abstract

Electrolyte cation size is known to influence the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 over metals; however, a satisfactory explanation for this phenomenon has not been developed. We report here that these effects can be attributed to a previously unrecognized consequence of cation hydrolysis occurring...
