Sulfonic acid functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 materials were prepared using the co-condensation and grafting methods, respectively, and their catalytic performance in the dehydration of xylose to furfural was examined. SBA-15-SO<sub>3</sub>H(C) prepared by the co-condensation method showed 92–95% xylose...
