Mesoporous materials with the characteristics of high surface area, ordered pore arrangements and good uniformity of pore size have a wide prospect of application in many fields such as electronics, optics, magnetics, sensors and catalysis etc. and are extensively investigated at home and abroad.The recent progress in studies of non-siliceous mesoporous materials including mesoporous aluminophosphates (AlPOs), mesoporous carbon and mesoporous metal oxides are reviewed.
