AbstractAcidic electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) addresses CO2 loss and thus mitigates the energy penalties associated with CO2 recovery; however, acidic CO2R suffers low selectivity. One promising remedy—using a high concentration of alkali cations—steers CO2R towards multi-carbon (C2+) products, but these same alkali cations result in salt formation, limiting operating stability to <15 h.
