Hydrolysis of Electrolyte Cations Enhances the Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 over Ag and Cu

TL;DR: The effects of electrolyte cation size can be attributed to a previously unrecognized consequence of cation hydrolysis occurring in the vicinity of the cathode, leading to an increase in cathode activity, a decrease in Faradaic efficiencies for H2 and CH4, and an increase for CO, C2H5OH, in full agreement with experimental observations for CO2 reduction over Ag and Cu.
