	abstract = {New precious-metal-free mesoporous materials were investigated as catalysts for the complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide. Mesoporous cobalt oxide was first synthesized using KIT-6 mesoporous silica as a hard template. After removal of the silica, the cobalt oxide was itself used as a hard template to construct cerium oxide/cobalt oxide composite materials. Furthermore, cerium oxide/cobalt oxide composite materials doped with manganese and lanthanum were also prepared. All of the new composite materials retained the hierarchical long-range order of the original KIT-6 template. Temperature-programmed oxidation measurements showed that these cerium oxide/cobalt oxide and doped cerium oxide/cobalt oxide materials are effective catalysts for the total oxidation of methane, with a light-off temperature (T-50\%) of similar to 400 degrees C observed for all of the nanostructured materials.},
