Abstract

Oxygen-containing carbon materials have been studied extensively because of their excellent dispersibility, absorptivity, separability, and supportability of catalysts. However, structural control by existing top-down methods is almost impossible. Our group has demonstrated that phloroglucinol (PG, 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) can be a promising raw material to synthesize structurally controlled oxygen-containing carbon materials. In this study, in addition to PG, hexahydroxybenzene (HHB), which has more oxygen and high symmetry, was used as the raw material, and a Lewis acid catalyst, tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane (TPB), was used to enhance the structural control rate and the removability of catalysts from the carbonized samples. The solubility of heat-treated HHB was lower than that of heat-treated PG, but the oxygen content of heat-treated HHB was higher than that of heat-treated PG even at 673 K. By adding TPB to PG, dibenzofuran-like structures formed, and the structural control rate increased up to 93.6%. Besides, the content of fluorine in the catalyst was reduced to 0%, indicating that TPB can be a promising recyclable catalyst to promote the structural control rate of carbonized PG.
