By employing an aqueous cooperative assembly of phenol/formaldehyde resols and triblock copolymers (Pluronic P123 and F127), highly ordered mesoporous carbons with 2-D hexagonal (p6m) and body-centered cubic (Im3m) structures (FDU-15, FDU-16) were synthesized with hydrocarbons such as hexadecane as a swelling agent. FDU-15 has a pore size of 3.8 nm and a BET surface area up to 1040 m2/g, and FDU-16 with cubic mesostructure has a pore diameter of 3.2 nm and a BET surface area of ~ 1030 m2/g. A variety of hydrocarbons with different chain length were used and the swelling ability was estimated in detail.
