Three-dimensionally　ordered　macroporous　(3DOM)　cubic　perovskite-type　oxides　SrFeO3-delta　were　prepared　using　the　citrate　acid-assisted　poly(methyl　methacrylate)-templating　method　in　the　presence　of　ethylene　glycol,　sucrose　or　L-lysine　(denoted　as　SFO-0.　SFO-Sucrose,　and　SFO-Lysine,　respectively).　It　is　found　that　the　SrFeO3-delta　samples　possessed　a　3DOM　architecture　and　were　high　in　surface　area　(34-61　m(2)/g).　The　porous　SrFeO3-delta　catalysts　performed　well　in　toluene　combustion,　with　the　SFO-0　sample　exhibiting　the　highest　catalytic　activity　(T-50%　=　292　degrees　C　and　T-90%　=　340　degrees　C　at　20,000　mL/(g　h)).　The　catalytic　activity　of　the　samples　showed　a　good　relationship　with　surface　area,　oxygen　adspecies　concentration,　and　low-temperature　reducibility,　all　decrease　in　the　order　of　SFO-0　＞　SFO-Lysine　＞　SFO-Sucrose　＞＞　SFO-bulk.　It　is　deduced　that　the　good　catalytic　performance　of　the　porous　SrFeO3-delta　materials　is　due　to　the　good　low-temperature　reducibility,　large　surface　area,　and　high　oxygen　adspecies　concentration.　(C)　2012　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
