Room-temperature ionic liquids are increasingly investigated as electrolytes for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction thanks to their high intrinsic ionic conductivities, wide electrochemical potential windows, and high CO2 absorption capacities and solubilities. Here, seven imidazolium-based ionic liquids are investigated as electrolytes for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO using a silver foil cathode, with their stability, co-catalytic effects, and varying selectivities elucidated.
