ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction (ECR) is a promising approach to converting into chemicals and fuels. Among the ECR products, C products such as ethylene, ethanol, acetate have been extensively studied due their high industrial demands. However, mechanistic understanding of product formation remains unclear lack in situ or operando measurements that can observe complex instantaneous atomic evolutions adsorbates at electrode/electrolyte interface. Moreover, sensitivity reactions variations interface further widens gap between performance enhancement. To bridge this gap, first‐principle studies provide insights how influences ECR. In study, we present review investigating effects various factors interface, with an emphasis on formation. We begin by introducing essential metrics. Next, discuss classified components namely, electrocatalyst, electrolyte, adsorbates, respectively, Due interplay among these factors, aim deconvolute influence each factor clearly demonstrate impacts. Finally, outline directions for products.
