Abstract: Provided are a mesoporous carbon and a method of preparing the same, where the mesoporous carbon is prepared using phenanthrene as a carbon source and a mesoporous silica as a template. The mesoporous carbon has a significantly low plane resistance, which can be obtained without sacrificing other physical properties, and thus obtains a high conductivity and effectively transfers electrical energy. Accordingly, a fuel cell electrode or a fuel cell which is produced using the mesoporous carbon as a conductive material has high efficiency. Furthermore, the mesoporous carbon may be used in various electrochemical devices as a conductive material.
