TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The ordered mesoporous carbon is in the form of a framework including walls which define the mesopores. The silicon carbide is in the form of a particle and is disposed on an inner surface of the walls of the framework of the ordered mesoporous carbon. The silicon carbide is disposed on an inner surface and on an outer surface of the walls of the framework of the ordered mesoporous carbon. The silicon carbide is bound to the ordered mesoporous carbon. The silicon carbide has a shape of a spherical, platelet, amorphous and an acicular shape. The weight ratio of ordered mesoporous carbon to the silicon carbide is 1:99-30:70. The composite support has a specific surface area of 300-600 square meters/g. The ordered mesoporous silica template comprises MCM-48, SBA-1, SBA-15, KIT-1, or MSU-1. A carbonaceous precursor of the carbonaceous precursor-containing mixture comprises glucose, sucrose, fructose, benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin, urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin, quinoxaline, propylenediamine, 4,4'-dipyridyl, phenanthroline, p-toluenesulfonic acid, or furfuryl mercaptan. The carbonaceous precursor-containing mixture further comprises a metal precursor and a solvent. Preferred Method: The thermally treating step is performed at a temperature of 1350-1450 degrees C in an inert atmosphere. The silicon carbide in the pre-composite is derived from the ordered mesoporous silica template and the carbonaceous precursor of the carbonaceous precursor-containing mixture. The removing of the ordered mesoporous silica template from the pre-composite comprises contacting the pre-composite with an acid or an alkali solution capable of dissolving silica. EXAMPLE - 23.4 g of Pluronic P123 (RTM: Difunctional block copolymer surfactant) was mixed with 606.8 g of water and 146.4 g of a hydrochloric acid solution, and then tetraethyl orthosilicate was added into the mixture at 55 degrees C, followed by a hydrolysis and condensation reaction for 6 hours. A resulting reaction product was heated at a temperature of 400-1350 degrees C over a period of 5 hours, and then maintaining the temperature at 1350 degrees C for 2 hours to obtain a pre-composite (ordered mesoporous carbon-silicon carbide-ordered mesoporous silica template), and then the ordered mesoporous silica template was removed from the pre-composite with 5 wt % aqueous hydrofluoric acid.
