Abstract: Lignin is one of the three recalcitrant components of lignocellulosic renewable biomass and the most abundant heterogeneous aromatic structural biopolymer on the earth. Lignin has a high carbon content over 50 %, and is one of the potential ideal precursors for carbon materials. Mesoporous carbon with high specific surface area and big pore size has wide applications on biomedical devices, catalysis, supercapacitors and so on. Therefore, the synthesis of mesoporous carbon materials has successfully concentrated attention and efforts by scientists worldwide. Nano-casting techniques are available method to prepare mesoporous carbons. Herein, some common strategies for pore dimension adjusting such as hard template route, soft template route and dual template route were reviewed. Finally, the recent research progress on the preparation of lignin-derived mesoporous carbon materials by using template strategy was emphatically introduced.

Key words: lignin, template strategy, mesoporous carbon, preparation
