Developing bio-based technologies that utilize ethanol as a building block to produce high value compounds can advance the renewable energy efforts toward freedom from fossil fuel resources. Here we show that ethanol can be selectively converted to C2+ alcohols/oxygenates or to phenolic compounds over mixed oxide catalysts.
