Design of carbon supports for metal-catalyzed acetylene hydrochlorination

Carbons are indispensable as supports for metal-based catalysts in polyvinyl chloride manufacture via acetylene hydrochlorination. In this work, the acetylene interaction, tunable through adjusting microporosity and oxygen sites is identified as central activity and stability descriptor.
