The transformation of biomass derivative components such as glucose to levulinate esters via direct conversion in alcohol with acid catalyst has attracted great attention. In this study, the sulfonate urea-furfural carbon cryogel doped with zinc (UFCS-Zn) has been applied as an acid catalyst for the...
