Ethanol-to-hydrocarbons (ETH) conversion represents a pivotal reaction in non-homogeneous catalysis, offering a sustainable solution for the production of significant platform chemicals, including olefins, gasoline, and aromatics. However, it is imperative to continue enhancing the catalytic efficiency and extending the operational longevity of the catalysts. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in the field of catalytic conversion of ethanol to hydrocarbons. It emphasizes the pivotal role of zeolite catalysts in the conversion of ethanol to hydrocarbons and offers insights into the recent scientific discoveries pertaining to the reaction mechanism of ETH conversion. In addition, we investigate the catalyst optimization and design, with the objective of enhancing the selectivity of the target product and prolonging the catalyst life. This topic has not been fully addressed in recent reviews. The aim of this review is to offer theoretical insights into the ETH reaction mechanism and to guide the development of more efficient ETH catalysts.
