While the production of HMF from biomass has garnered significant interest, optimizing the trade-offs among production costs, energy efficiency, and environmental impact remains a critical challenge. The catalytic conversion of glucose to HMF using carbon-based solid acid catalysts offers a sustainable and efficient route for producing this strategic platform molecule. In this study, a novel catalyst, C (Cr, Cl, S), was synthesized via sulfonation of co-carbonized starch and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the presence of chromium (III) chloride (CrCl<sub>3</sub>). The catalyst features both Brønsted acid (–SO<sub>3</sub>H) and Lewis acid (Cr<sup>3+</sup>) sites, which synergistically promote glucose isomerization to fructose and subsequent fructose dehydration to HMF. Notably, the –Cl groups enhance glucose adsorption by strongly interacting with its –OH groups, thereby stretching the carbon framework and reducing steric hindrance between the substrate and catalyst. The C (Cr, Cl, S) catalyst was thoroughly characterized by XPS, FE-SEM, EDS, and FT-IR.
