Abstract: Different organic compounds, o-dihydroxybenzene, m-dihydroxybenzene, p-dihydroxybenzene, glycol, and cyclohexylamine, were used as the extra carbon source for a series of nanoporous carbon (NC) materials prepared by directly carbonizing composites containing citric acid and aluminum phosphate. The effect of the extra carbon source was studied. The structure and surface functional groups on the NC material were different with different extra carbon sources. The NC materials prepared using m-dihydroxybenzene, p-dihydroxybenzene or cyclohexylamine have excellent catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde.

Key words: nanoporous carbon, aluminophosphate, surface functional group, benzyl alcohol, aerobic oxidation
