NOVELTY - The method comprises providing a template made of an inorganic template material comprising pores and a precursor substance for carbon, infiltrating the pores using the precursor substance, heating a powder mixture comprising a fusible material from which the precursor substance and the template particles are made so that a precursor substance melt penetrates into the pores of the template particles, carbonizing the precursor substance, and removing the template under formation of a porous carbon product. The step of providing the template particles comprises a soot-deposition process.    USE - The method is useful for preparing a porous carbon product, which is useful: for preparing an electrode for a rechargeable lithium battery (claimed) and for fuel cells and super capacitors; as adsorbents for liquids and gases; as memory medium for gases; and as a support material in chromatographic applications and/or as a material in mechanical engineering or in the medical technology.    ADVANTAGE - The method ensures economical preparation of the porous carbon product with high efficiency thus ensuring high loading capacity of the battery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises providing a template made of an inorganic template material comprising pores and a precursor substance for carbon, infiltrating the pores using the precursor substance, heating a powder mixture comprising a fusible material from which the precursor substance and the template particles are made so that a precursor substance melt penetrates into the pores of the template particles, carbonizing the precursor substance, and removing the template under formation of a porous carbon product. The step of providing the template particles comprises a soot-deposition process, in which an insert material is converted to the template material particles by hydrolysis or pyrolysis, where the template material is separated from a deposition surface to form a soot body. The template particles: comprise a non-spherical morphology; are formed in a plate-shape or rod-shape with a structure ratio of 10; and have an average thickness of less than 50 mu m. The precursor substance particles are spherical, and have an average particle size of less than 20 mu m. The template material is silicon dioxide. Pitch and carbohydrate are used as the carbon precursor substance. The precursor substance particles and template particles are blended with one another in a volumetric ratio of 0.1-0.8. The carbon product is divided from porous particles to fine carbon material.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view of a device for producing a silicon dioxide-soot body.
