Abstract
A method of ethanol conversion to higher carbon compounds is provided. The method includes feeding a reactant to a reactor, the reactant including ethanol. The reactant may further include water in the form of steam. The reactant is introduced to a perovskite catalyst in the reactor. The perovskite catalyst promotes the formation of the higher carbon compounds from ethanol, and may be in the form of a powder or thin film. The perovskite catalyst has the formula ABO, wherein A is one or more selected from a group consisting of La and Sr, and wherein B is one or more selected from a group consisting of Mn, Ca, Fe, and Co. The perovskite catalyst particularly may be LaSrMnO. The obtained higher carbon compounds may include at least one of acetone and crotonaldehyde.
