Boron-doped sulfonated graphitic carbon nitride as a highly efficient catalyst for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from carbohydrates.

ABSTRACT: The presence of humins during the conversion of concentrated fructose presents a major obstacle in the large-scale production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from fructose. Herein, we reported a boron-doped graphitic carbon nitride sulfonated (BGCN-SO₃H) as an excellent catalyst for the synthesis of HMF from fructose. The BGCN-SO₃H catalyst structures were analyzed using various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The BGCN-SO₃H catalyst was evaluated for the synthesis of HMF from fructose. We investigated the influence of catalyst perfor
