Electrolyte cations have been shown to have a strong impact on reactivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, most studies have been performed in an aqueous environment. Here the effect of various alkylammonium cations on CO2 reduction in aprotic solvents is investigated, with the interfacial electric field induced by the cations shown to be a dominant factor.
