| description | The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) at industrial-level current densities provides a sustainable approach to converting CO2 into value-added fuels and feedstocks using renewable electricity. However, the CO2RR conducted typically in alkaline and neutral electrolytes encounters some challenges due to the inevitable reaction between CO2 and OH− ions, which undermines CO2 utilization and leads to poor operational stability. Acidic media present a viable alternative by reducing (bi)carbonate production, thereby enhancing the carbon efficiency and stability in CO2RR. The objective of this paper is to provide a concise account of the recent advancements and challenges in the field of acidic CO2RR, with an emphasis on future developments and opportunities. |
