Synergistic effects of Fe species distribution and acid site balance in Fe/zeolite catalysts for 5-HMF production from glucose

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate how the distribution of iron species and the balance of acid sites affect the conversion of glucose to 5-HMF.
• Analyze the effects of different Fe species in zeolite catalysts
• Evaluate the role of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites
• Conduct conversion experiments with glucose and assess 5-HMF yield
• Identified optimal balance of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites for increased 5-HMF yield
• Demonstrated that specific Fe species distribution significantly enhances conversion efficiency
