Abstract
Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived ethanol into n-butanol through Guerbet coupling reaction has become one of the key reactions in biomass valorization, thus attracting significant attention recently. Herein, a series of supported Cu catalysts derived from Ni-based hydrotalcite (HT) were prepared and performed in the continuous catalytic conversion of ethanol into butanol. Among the prepared catalysts, Cu/NiAlOx shows the best performance in terms of butanol selectivity and catalyst stability, with a sustained ethanol conversion of ~35% and butanol selectivity of 25% in a time-on-stream (TOS) of 110 h at 280 °C. While for the Cu/NiFeOx and Cu/NiCoOx, obvious catalyst deactivation and/or low butanol selectivity were obtained. Extensive characterization studies of the fresh and spent catalysts, i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), reveal that the catalysts' deactivation is mainly caused by the support deconstruction during catalysis, which is highly dependent on the reducibility. Additionally, an appropriate acid-base property is pivotal for enhancing the product selectivity, which is beneficial for the key process of aldol-condensation to produce butanol.

Abstract
Guerbet alcohols, a class of β-branched terminal alcohols, find widespread application because of their low melting points and excellent fluidity. Because of the limitations in the activity and selectivity of existing Guerbet catalysts, Guerbet alcohols are not currently produced via the Guerbet reaction but via hydroformylation of oil-derived alkenes followed by aldol condensation. In pursuit of a one-step synthesis of Guerbet alcohols from simple linear alcohol precursors, we show that MOF-derived RuCo alloys achieve over a million turnovers in the Guerbet reaction of 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol. The active catalyst is formed in situ from ruthenium-impregnated metal-organic framework MFU-1. XPS and XAS studies indicate that the precatalyst is composed of Ru precursor trapped inside the MOF pores with no change in the oxidation state or coordination environment of Ru upon MOF incorporation. The significantly higher reactivity of Ru-impregnated MOF versus a physical mixture of Ru precursor and MOF suggests that the MOF plays an important role in templating the formation of the active catalyst and/or its stabilization. XPS reveals partial reduction of both ruthenium and MOF-derived cobalt under the Guerbet reaction conditions, and TEM/EDX imaging shows that Ru is decorated on the edges of dense nanoparticles, as well as thin nanoplates of CoOx. The use of ethanol rather than higher alcohols as a substrate results in lower turnover frequencies, and RuCo recovered from ethanol upgrading lacks nanostructures with plate-like morphology and does not exhibit Ru-enrichment on the surface and edge sites. Notably, 1H and 31P NMR studies show that through use of K3PO4 as a base promoter in the RuCo-catalyzed alcohol upgrading, the formation of carboxylate salts, a common side product in the Guerbet reaction, was effectively eliminated.
