Ordered macroporous platinum and palladium metal powders were prepared with a combination of silica template and hydrogen reduction methods. The effects of species of metal precursor and calcination of silica templates on the structure of final metal powders were investigated. Precursor of platinum or palladium was infiltrated into closely packed silica templates prepared from tetraethyl orthosilicate and vacuum dried at room temperature following hydrogen reduction to obtain metal–silica complexes. After the removal of the silica templates from the complexes by hydrofluoric acid treatment, metal powders were obtained. Ordered macroporous platinum and palladium powders were obtained by using hydrogen hexachloroplatinate (IV) hexahydrate with uncalcined silica template and palladium (II) chloride with calcined templates, respectively. Composition analyses indicated that silica templates were completely removed from the ordered metal powder. Sizes of the voids in the ordered macroporous metal powders were controlled in the range of 240–520 nm corresponding to those of the silica spheres used.
