Abstract

Efficient conversion of C1 molecules into multicarbon oxygenates is a promising avenue for energy storage. Herein, we synthesize adjustable alkanoic acids/alcohols from formate C1 molecules via a hydrothermal reaction without any metal catalyst participation. This is achieved via HCO* and HCOO− nonsymmetric C–C coupling by alkali catalysis in aqueous medium.
