One-step synthesis of novel sulfuric acid groups' functionalized carbon via hydrothermal carbonization

The novel sulfuric acid groups' functionalized carbon has been synthesized via one-step hydrothermal carbonization of polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxyethylsulfuric acid. The novel carbon exhibited high acidity and comparable activities to sulfonic acid for the traditional acid-catalyzed reactions,...

Summary:The novel sulfuric acid groups' functionalized carbon has been synthesized via one-step hydrothermal carbonization of polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxyethylsulfuric acid. The novel carbon exhibited high acidity and comparable activities to sulfonic acid for the traditional acid-catalyzed reactions, which indicated that it has great potential for the environmental-friendly processes. The copolymerization method provides an efficient procedure for the synthesis of various functioned carbons by one-step hydrothermal carbonization.
