Abstract
There is an urgent need of cleaner and energy-efficient technologies for future sustainable chemicals and fuels. Here the authors report the gas phase synthesis of long hydrocarbon chains from atomic carbon and molecular hydrogen precursors in an inert carrier gas, avoiding the use of metal catalysts.
