Research Abstract	The research on mesoporous materials, conducted mainly by using surfactant assemblies as templates, has been increasing rapidly. Mesoporous metals with high electroconductivity and high surface area have attracted particular interest for very wide range of applications such as batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and chemical sensors. Although several mesoporous metals have been prepared in the past, the rational design of highly ordered mesoporous metals with controlled compositions and morphologies is a challenging topic. In this project, we would like to propose new ways to solve the above issue.
