Graphical abstract: The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide dissolved in a solution of water and ionic liquid as electrolyte, at high-pressure and near room-temperature, is reported. This work describes an electro-deposition strategy for the preparation of copper substrate cathodes, coated with bimetallic zinc-copper films, obtained from deep-eutectic solvents plating baths. The prepared bimetallic cathodes showed electrochemical activity for syngas production in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate, with yields of 85N$μ$L (normal microliter)cm-2C-1/170N$μ$Lcm-2h-1, high selectivities, tunable H2/CO ratio and low energetic requirements.</p>
