As characterized by STEM/FIB and HRTEM techniques,  rhodium nanoparticles (2-4 nm) have been successfully confined into the uniform nanopores (6.5 nm in diameter) of soft-templated ordered mesoporous carbon via wetness impregnation method by using iso-propanol as solvent and carefully controlling drying process.
