Aqueous electrolytes are most commonly used for the CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR), but suffer from a low CO₂ solubility that limits the reaction. Electrochemical CO₂ reduction in nonaqueous electrolytes can provide a solution, due to the higher CO₂ solubility of organic solvent-based electrolytes. Herein, the product distribution of the electrochemical CO₂ reduction on polycrystalline Cu in 0.7 m tetraethylammonium chloride in propylene carbonate with different water additions (0, 10, and 90 v%), and for different operating conditions (10, 25, 40, and 60 °C), is investigated. It is found that CO₂ reduction on Cu in a propylene carbonate solution results in H₂, CO, and formic acid formation only, even though Cu is known to produce C₂₊ products such as ethylene and ethanol in aqueous electrolytes. Increasing the operating temperature increases the CO₂RR kinetics and shows an improvement in CO formation and decrease in H₂ formation. However, increasing the operating temperature also increases water transport through the membrane, resulting in an increase of H₂ formation over time when operating at 60 °C.
