In this article, the synergetic effect between the B- and Al-based acidic sites in B-Al co-doped mesoporous MFI nanocrystals (denoted as m-B-Al-S1) is rationally applied to modify the alcoholysis process of furfuryl alcohol. The porosity and dopant concentration of the m-B-Al-S1 materials are optimized via a modified Kirkendall growth method to boost the ultra-high selectivity to ethyl levulinate reactions (94%). The m-B-Al-S1 catalyst also shows good stability for further reuses.
