They are covalently functionalized with -SO3H groups via C-PhSO3H or C-SO3H linkages with special carbon structures. To date, the types of SCC for biodiesel production ranges from biochar (BC), activated carbon (AC), graphene, graphite oxides, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, order mesoporous carbon, and graphitic carbon nitride. Lignocellulosic and biomass wastes are important carbon precursors for low-cost BC and AC production. This review critically reviews and summarizes the most up-to-date research progress in the evolution of SCC for biodiesel production. Systematic discussions and comparisons on the different carbon materials, preparation methods, and sulfonation preparation parameters which directly affect the physicochemical attributes and catalytic performance are provided. The applications and reusability studies of these materials in biodiesel production are also included. Finally, the challenges to be addressed and future prospects of the research direction on the applications of SCC for biodiesel production are discussed. © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH date: 2021 publisher: John Wiley and Sons Inc official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85111860095&doi=10.1002%2fente.202100303&partnerID=40&md5=f1e68b31248a891db1c2eed82d51c271 id_number: 10.1002/ente.202100303 full_text_status: none publication: Energy Technology volume: 9 number: 9 refereed: TRUE issn: 21944288 citation: Chong, C.C. and Cheng, Y.W. and Lam, M.K. and Setiabudi, H.D. and Vo, D.-V.N.
