Three-dimensionally　macroporous　perovskite-type　oxides　EuFeO3　(EFO-3DOM,　EFO-sucrose-1,　EFO-sucrose-2,　and　EFO-sucrose-3,　respectively)　have　been　prepared　using　the　polymethyl　methacrylate-templating　method　in　the　absence　or　presence　of　sucrose.　Physicochemical　properties　of　the　materials　were　characterized　by　means　of　a　number　of　analytical　techniques,　and　their　catalytic　activities　were　evaluated　for　the　total　oxidation　of　toluene.　It　is　shown　that　all　of　the　EFO　samples　were　of　single-phase　orthorhombic　crystal　structure　with　a　3DOM　architecture.　The　sucrose　addition　during　the　preparation　process　had　a　great　effect　on　the　surface　area　and　porous　structure　of　the　final　product.　A　clear　correlation　of　surface　area,　surface　oxygen　species　concentration,　and　low-temperature　reducibility　with　the　catalytic　performance　was　observed.　The　EFO-sucrose-1　catalyst　performed　the　best,　giving　the　T-50%　and　T-90%　of　312　and　347　degrees　C　at　space　velocity　=　20,000　mL/(g　h),　respectively.　The　apparent　activation　energies　of　the　3DOM-structured　EFO　samples　were　in　the　range　of　82-97　kJ/mol.　It　is　concluded　that　the　higher　surface　area　and　oxygen　adspecies　concentration　and　better　low-temperature　reducibility　account　for　the　good　catalytic　activity　of　EFO-sucrose-1.　(C)　2013　Elsevier　Masson　SAS.　All　rights　reserved.
