Ordered mesoporous carbon , named as NCC‐1, has been synthesized via a nanocasting process using SBA‐15 as the template and diluted furfuryl alcohol solution as the carbon source. NCC‐1 shows a bimodal pore size distribution (see Figure) in the mesopore range and a high pore volume up to 3.2 cm 3 g –1 . Since the pore systems are independently generated at different stages during the synthesis, they can also be modified independently.
