Abstract

AbstractA molybdenum‐containing preceramic polymer, MoPMS, was synthesized for the first time by HCl elimination of polymethylsilane (PMS) and MoCl5at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran. The insoluble MoPMS prepared was embedded into the void spaces of a silica colloidal crystal template within the pot life of the polymer and successfully transformed to a three‐dimensionally long‐range‐ordered macroporous SiCMoSi2ceramic after pyrolysis at 1400 °C in an argon atmosphere followed by template removal in HF. The bead‐inverse macroporous SiCMoSi2ceramic, with a ceramic yield of about 88%, exhibits high temperature stability, high BET surface area, and semiconducting behavior. In addition, the macroporous SiCMoSi2ceramic was used as a catalyst carrier for platinum–ruthenium coated on the surface of the pores. The preceramic polymer and the ceramic were characterized by IR, thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and BET surface area.
