Highly ordered mesoporous Co 3 O 4 nanostructures were prepared using KIT‐6 and SBA‐15 silica as hard templates. The structures were confirmed by small angle X‐ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis. Both KIT‐6 cubic and SBA‐15 hexagonal mesoporous Co 3 O 4 samples exhibited a low Néel temperature and bulk antiferromagnetic coupling due to geometric confinement of antiferromagnetic order within the nanoparticles. Mesoporous Co 3 O 4 electrode materials have demonstrated the high lithium storage capacity of more than 1200 mAh g −1 with an excellent cycle life. They also exhibited a high specific capacitance of 370 F g −1 as electrodes in supercapacitors.
