Mesoporous carbon monolith was synthesized by the direct carbonization of compressed sucrose/silica composite,which was prepared by using sol-gel method. The structural and textural properties of the materials were investigated by XRD,DRIFT,N2-adsorption and SEM. The characterization study shows that the resultant carbon monolith possesses a relatively high surface area,large pore volume and well interconnected pore system. Addition of a certain amount of citric acid or aluminum nitrate into the sol-gel precursor of sucrose/silica composite could consi-derably change the structure parameters of the carbon monolith.
