Abstract
In this study we report a novel and simple method for preparing a sulfonated carbon–silica-meso composite showing high acidity and porosity useful for transformation of bulky molecules, where glucose was used as a carbon source as well as a non-surfactant templating precursor and the resultant composite upon calcination yielded the mesoporous silica.
