Ordered nanoporous materials possess unique properties, such as high surface area, uniform and tunable pore size, and abundant morphologies and have attracted a lot of interests since the first discover of microporous molecular sieves and become a special field.This paper provides a comprehensive review of current research activities in ordered nanoporous materials, including silicon, silica, alumina, carbon, polymer and metal organic frameworks(MOFs), for their applications to energetic materials in catalysis, sorption, separation, detection, chemical sensor, nanocomposition, and so on.Finally, the prospects for future investigations are proposed.
