Introduction of Sn into heteropoly silicate led to generate Lewis acidity. Conversion of carbohydrates to EMF requires both Brønsted and Lewis acidity to yield more EMF. The activity increased with increase in Lewis acidity of the Sn0.75STA/SBA-15 catalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
