Abstract Alkali cations impose a conducive effect for acidic electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (eCO RR) to high‐value chemicals. However, the intrinsic configuration of active at complex electrode–electrolyte interfaces remains elusive, limiting deployment cation effect. Herein, we identify crucial specific adsorption K + on improving eCO RR. The specifically adsorbed occurs after implanting sulfonic acid groups system carbon nanotubes and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc/CNT−SO 3 H). Importantly, NiPc/CNT−SO H generates 2.3‐fold enhancement RR enables attaining high Faraday efficiency >90% −450 mA cm −2 in acid, surpassing most reported catalysts. Specifically residing inner Helmholtz plane can promote *CO *COOH disrupt hydrogen‐bonding network connectivity, thus facilitating process. This work identifies novel feature alkaline provides an effective platform improve electrocatalysis.
