Caption

Electrocatalytic reduction reactions, powered by clean energy, offer a sustainable approach to upgrading inexpensive feedstocks into high-value-added chemicals. Recently, cations in the electrolyte have emerged as critical factors for tuning both the activity and product selectivity of reduction reactions. This review comprehensively examines the mechanisms, applications, characterization techniques, and computational simulations of cation effects in electrocatalytic reduction reactions, while also addressing the challenges and prospects in this field.
