This work reports the synthesis of amorphous acidic aluminosilicates (AAS) possessing Brønsted acidic sites and textural properties similar to amorphous aluminosilicates (ASAs). AAS catalyzes various reactions more effectively than state-of-the-art zeolites and ASAs, including waste plastic conversion to hydrocarbons and CO<sub>2</sub> to fuel conversion. Solid-state NMR studies provide a molecular-level understanding of the material's acidity.
