Three-dimensionally　ordered　macroporous　(3DOM)　and　bulk　Co3O4,　Eu0.6Sr0.4FeO3　(ESFO),　and　3　wt%　Co3O4/Eu0.6Sr0.4FeO3　(3Co(3)O(4)/ESFO)　were　fabricated　using　the　PMMA-templating　(3DOM-Co3O4　and　3DOM-ESFO),　citric　acid-assisted　hydrothermal　(Co3O4-bulk　and　ESFO-bulk),　and　incipient　wetness　impregnation　(3Co(3)O(4)/3DOM-ESFO　and　3Co(3)O(4)/ESFO-bulk)　methods,　respectively.　Physicochemical　properties　of　these　materials　were　characterized　by　means　of　various　techniques,　and　their　catalytic　activities　were　evaluated　for　toluene　combustion.　Compared　to　the　nonporous　Co3O4　and　ESFO　samples,　the　3DOM-Co3O4,　3　DOM-ESFO,　and　3Co(3)O(4)/3DOM-ESFO　samples　exhibited　higher　oxygen　adspecies　concentrations　and　better　low-temperature　reducibility.　The　3Co(3)O(4)/3DOM-ESFO　sample　showed　the　best　catalytic　activity　for　toluene　combustion,　giving　the　T-50%　and　T-90%　of　251　and　269　degrees　C　at　20,000　mL/(g　h),　respectively.　The　apparent　activation　energies　of　these　samples　were　in　the　range　of　72-88　kJ/mol.　We　believe　that　the　higher　oxygen　adspecies　concentration,　better　low-temperature　reducibility,　and　synergistic　action　between　Co3O4　and　3DOM-structured　ESFO　were　responsible　for　the　excellent　catalytic　performance　of　3Co(3)O(4)/3DOM-ESFO.　(c)　2012　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
