Regeneration of mesoporous inorganic materials from ordered mesoporous carbons has been successfully performed in the present work. A mesoporous silica SBA-15 are used as a template for the synthesis of the mesoporous carbon CMK-3. Subsequently, mesoporous inorganic replica materials can be obtained from the mesoporous carbon. This synthetic principle is very useful for the preparation of various kinds of the mesoporous inorganic materials.
