Pathway 1 represents the generation of methane via a hydrogeneration process. Pathway 2 shows the production of ethane from the coupling between two adsorbed CH3. Pathway 3 represents the coupling of CH3 group with adsorbed CO molecule to produce ethanol. Pathway 4 shows the coupling of *CHO and adsorbed CO molecule for the generation of ethanol.
