Abstract
(Lewis acid site) significantly enhanced the HMF yield and selectivity when the optimum ratio of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites is reached. The high catalytic activity, good reusability, and simple preparation method of the catalyst show a promise for the potential use of this catalytic system on an industrial scale.
