Abstract
Although industrialized, the mechanism for catalytic upgrading of bioethanol over solid-acid catalysts (that is, the ethanol-to-hydrocarbons (ETH) reaction) has not yet been fully resolved. Moreover, mechanistic understanding of the ETH reaction relies heavily on its well-known “sister-reaction” the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process. However, the MTH process possesses a C1 -entity reactant
