In operando NMR investigations of the aqueous electrolyte chemistry during electrolytic CO₂ reduction.

ABSTRACT: The electrolytic reduction of CO₂ in aqueous media promises a pathway for the utilization of the green house gas by converting it to base chemicals or building blocks thereof. However, the technology is currently not economically feasible, where one reason lies in insufficient reaction rates and selectivities. Current research of CO₂ electrolysis is becoming aware of the importance of the local environment and reactions at the electrodes and their proximity, which can be only assessed under true catalytic conditions, i.e. by in operando techniques. In this work, multinuclear in operando NMR techniques were applied in order to investigate the evolution of the electrolyte chemistry during CO₂ electrolysis. The CO₂ electroreduction was performed in
