Biobutanol is increasingly attracting industrial interest as a fuel additive because of its numerous advantages over bioethanol that include higher calorific value, fuel efficiency, and reduced-engine problems. Therefore, bioethanol valorization to biobutanol provides a good option for the energy industry. This paper reviews literature on the recent progress for the ethanol to butanol (ETB) process. Issues related to catalyst development and the role of compositional properties (i.e., catalyst nature and acidity-basicity) and reaction parameters in enhancing butanol yield were critically examined. The mini review also discussed the reaction mechanisms involved and identified new paths for further studies.
