TGA analysisFigure S1: TGA analysis. Ceramic material was heated at 5 °C/m<strong>in</strong> to 850 °C under flow<strong>in</strong>gair.PorosityThe porosity is calculated assum<strong>in</strong>g the hous<strong>in</strong>g around the monolith would fit justaround the sample. The 12 small and 6 large air-channels <strong>in</strong> this volume give rise to a porosityof:φchVsc=V+ Vsamplelc12 ⋅ 60 ⋅950+ 6 ⋅ 500 ⋅5000=12 ⋅500⋅ 5000= 0.52where φ ch is the porosity from the channels, V sc is the volume of the small channels, V lc is thevolume of the large channels and V sample is the volume of the entire sample.The porosity from the colloidal crystal templat<strong>in</strong>g is calculated assum<strong>in</strong>g the largespheres pack <strong>in</strong> a fcc lattice. Calculations and experimental SEM data show that for a spheresize ratio of 350 nm/3.0 µm = 0.117 one tetrahedral site holds 20 small spheres and an
