© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Troublesome aquatic weed, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was converted into solid and liquid fractions via green and energy-saving hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). The solid product, hydrochar, was employed as a precursor to prepare magnetic carbon mate...
