Elucidation of the roles of ionic liquid in co2 electrochemical reduction to value-added chemicals and fuels

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2ER) is amongst one the most prom-ising technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions since carbon dioxide (CO2) can be converted to value-added products. Moreover, the possibility of using a renewable source of energy makes this process environme...
