Abstract

With the rapid growth of ethanol production

converting it into oxygenated chemicals and olefins can not only reduce dependence on petroleum resources

but also help meet the growing demand for energy and chemical products. Catalysts are the key to achieving efficient conversion of ethanol into oxygenated chemicals and olefins. Research progress on the reaction mechanisms

catalyst design strategies and catalytic performances of ethanol catalytic conversion to oxygenated chemicals and olefins was reviewed. And the future design of ethanol catalytic conversion catalysts was also prospected.
