The performance of the electrochemical CO2 and CO reduction reactions is affected by the presence of alkali metal cations in the electrolyte, but the mechanism remains under debate. Now, experimental determination of the energetics and kinetic barriers of key elementary steps in the electrochemical CO reduction reaction on Cu enables deconvolution of the cation effect.
