Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a recyclable catalyst to efficiently upgrade ethanol to n-butanol.
  • Mechanistic investigations were conducted using density functional theory calculations.
  • The catalyst was tested for its activity over six consecutive runs.
  • The catalyst achieved up to 37% yield of n-butanol.
  • It maintained significant activity after six reuse cycles.

Abstract

-butanol in up to 37% yield. Mechanistic investigations and density functional theory calculations were further conducted to gain insights into the catalytic pathway. The catalyst could be reused for six consecutive runs without significant activity decay.
