title: Facile synthesis of a sulfonated carbon-silica-meso composite and mesoporous silica.
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.
