Three-dimensional　(3D)　ordered　mesoporous　cubic　Co3O4　(denoted　as　Co-KIT6　and　Co-SBA16)　were　fabricated　adopting　the　KIT-6-　and　SBA-16-templating　strategies,　respectively.　It　is　shown　that　Co-KIT6　and　Co-SBA16　possessed　large　surface　areas　(118-121　m(2)/g),　high　oxygen　adspecies　concentrations,　and　good　low-temperature　reducibility.　Over　Co-KIT6　at　space　velocity　=　20,000　mL/(g　h),　90%　toluene　and　methanol　conversions　were　achieved　at　180　and　139　degrees　C,　respectively.　The　excellent　catalytic　performance　of　Co-KIT6　and　Co-SBA16　was　associated　with　their　larger　surface　areas,　higher　oxygen　adspecies　concentrations,　better　low-temperature　reducibility,　and　3D　ordered　mesoporous　structure.　(C)　2010　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
