AbstractThe electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide is a critical step in the development of chemical storage systems for renewable energy. Practical implementation of such a system will require catalysts which are not only efficient, but which also can be fabricated from inexpensive and earth abundant materials. Ionic liquid (IL) mediated catalysis has enabled CO2 reduction to be carried out using a variety of inexpensive, earth abundant cathode materials. The effects of the catholyte and cathode on the efficacy of catalysis were studied. A deeper understanding of the contributions of both of these components to IL mediated catalyst systems was developed which will allow for their continued improvement and innovation.en_US
