Highly ordered three dimensionally macroporous carbon spheres (3DMPCS) were successfully prepared against removable colloidal silica crystal bead templates by carbonization of glucose. The unique structural characteristics of the well-developed three dimensionally interconnected macropores were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption. The 3DMPCS have uniform large pore structures with size about 250 nm. Pt nanoparticles were supported on the macroporous carbon spheres by two aqueous impregnation methods, and it was found that the 3DMPCS supported Pt exhibited high electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation.
