Direct production of BuOH from EtOH is compared over four Cu catalysts, supported on different solid acids. The activity of these catalysts to perform the Guerbet reaction was assessed using a continuous flow reactor and the effect of using scCO 2 was also monitored. Cu on high surface area CeO 2 showed the best activity for BuOH formation, with yields above 30%.
