Meso-macroporous poly (ionic liquids) (MPILs) were successfully synthesized through a novel strategy with P123 (PEO20PPO70PEO20) as the pore-forming agent and divinylbenzene as crosslinker. Then effects of reaction temperature and the molar ratio of ionic liquid to divinylbenzene (IL to DVB) were systematically investigated together with the morphology and structure of MPILs. It was found the MPILs owned a meso-macroporous channel-like structure, large surface area (up to 732 m(2)/g), large pore volume (1.42 cm(3)/g) and high thermal stability. Meanwhile, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface of MPILs could be fabricated by adjusting the reaction temperature and especially the IL to DVB molar ratio. In the probe reaction of alkylation of styrene and o-xylene, a 100% conversion of styrene and 96.4% PXE yield was acquired, and this is more expert than common commercial liquid acid catalyst. This work might develop a novel way for synthesizing porous heterogeneous polymer catalysts in the future and owning a promising future applied in other acidic catalytic reactions.
