Role of Ionic Solvents in the Electrocatalytic CO2 Conversion and H2 Evolution Suppression: From Ionic Liquids to Deep Eutectic Solvents

Alejandro Leal‐Duaso,

Abstract: The ionic solvents, including both ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES), are deeply studied for their potential in the carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and its further electrochemical conversion using different electrocatalysts. The aim of this review is to present and critically compare the role of ILs and DES in the activation of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and suppression of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Therefore, the most relevant advances in the use of these io… Show more

“…In contrast, the CO 2 solubility is 0.03 mol CO 2 L −1 in aqueous solutions and 0.16–0.27 mol CO 2 L −1 in organic solvents under the same conditions. 157 The excellent capture ability for CO 2 increases the CO 2 availability at the electrode surface, thereby benefiting CO 2 RR performance. However, despite the unique advantages of DESs in terms of electron transfer as well as improving the concentration of CO 2 near the electrode, the current density obtained in the CO 2 RR using pure DESs as electrolytes is currently quite low.…”
