Rhombohedrally　crystallized　three-dimensionally　ordered　macroporous　(3DOM)　LaMnO3　supported　MnOx　(5,　8,　12,　16　wt%　MnOx/3DOM　LaMnO3)　catalysts　were　prepared　using　the　in　situ　tryptophan-assisted　poly(methyl　methacrylate)-templating　strategy.　Physicochemical　properties　of　the　materials　were　characterized　by　means　of　numerous　analytical　techniques,　and　their　catalytic　activities　were　evaluated　for　the　combustion　of　toluene　and　methanol.　It　is　shown　that　the　MnOx/3DOM　LaMnO3　samples　displayed　a　3DOM　architecture　and　a　high　surface　area　of　19-31　m(2)/g.　The　12　wt%　MnOx/3DOM　LaMnO3　sample　showed　the　highest　oxygen　adspecies　concentration　and　the　best　low-temperature　reducibility　as　well　as　the　highly　dispersed　MnOx　particles　on　the　LaMnO3　surface,　giving　the　highest　TOF　values　of　7.9　x　10(-6)　s(-1)　for　toluene　combustion　at　160　degrees　C　and　7.3　x　10(-6)　s(-1)　for　methanol　combustion　at　80　degrees　C.　The　apparent　activation　energies　of　the　MnOx/3DOM　LaMnO3　catalysts　were　61-62　and　48-54　kJ/mol　for　toluene　and　methanol　combustion,　respectively.　It　is　concluded　that　the　excellent　catalytic　performance　of　12　wt%　MnOx/3DOM　LaMnO3　was　associated　with　its　highest　oxygen　adspecies　concentration,　best　low-temperature　reducibility,　and　strong　interaction　between　MnOx　and　3DOM　LaMnO3.　(C)　2013　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
