Electroreduction of CO2 in Ionic Liquid-based Electrolytes
Graphical Abstract
Public Summary
● Electroreduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels is a promising approach for sustainable energy conversion and storage.
● Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes have received much attention because of the advantages of high CO2 adsorption capacity, high selectivity and low energy consumption.
● It includes the performance of different catalysts, the electrolyte effect, as well as mechanism studies in understanding the reaction pathway.
● The perspectives of this field are also put forward for developing novel electrochemical systems.
