Operationally simple electrochemical method for the conversion of acetone into high-specification jet fuel

Abstract

Highly branched alkanes and cycloalkanes are produced via electrochemical processing of the renewable platform molecule mesityl oxide, which is a dimer of biogenic acetone. The final product is a sustainable, drop-in jet fuel.
