Green and recyclable solid acid catalysts are in urgent demand as a substitute for conventional liquid mineral acids. In this work, a series of novel sulfonic acid-functionalized core-shell Fe₃O₄@carbon microspheres (Fe₃O₄@C-SO₃H) have been designed and synthesized as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous acid catalyst. For the synthesis, core-shell Fe₃O₄@RF (resorcinol-formaldehyde) microspheres with tunable shell thickness were achieved by interfacial polymerization on magnetic Fe₃O₄ microspheres. After high-temperature carbonization, the microspheres were eventually treated by surface sulfonation, resulting in Fe₃O₄@C-x-SO₃H (x stands for carbonization temperature) microspheres with abundant surface SO₃H groups. The obtained microspheres possess uniform core-shell structure, partially-graphitized carbon skeletons, superparamagnetic property, high magnetization saturation value of 10.6 emu/g, and rich SO₃H groups. The surface acid amounts can be adjusted in the range of 0.59–1.04 mmol/g via sulfonation treatment of carbon shells with different graphitization degrees. The magnetic Fe₃O₄@C-x-SO₃H microspheres were utilized as a solid acid catalyst for the acetalization reaction between benzaldehyde and ethylene glycol, demonstrating high selectivity (97%) to benzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal. More importantly, by applying an external magnetic field, the catalysts can be easily separated from the heterogeneous reaction solutions, which later show well preserved catalytic activity even after 9 cycles, revealing good recyclability and high stability.
