A method for producing porous carbon particles having a core/shell structure, the method comprising the following steps: a. providing a pore-containing template material consisting of inorganic material, b. infiltrating the pores of the template material with a first precursor for carbon of a first variety, c. carbonizing the first precursor so that in the pores a first deposit of the carbon of the first variety is formed with a first porosity, d. infiltrating pores remaining after carbonizing with a second precursor for carbon of a second variety, e. carbonizing the second precursor, so as to form a second deposit of graphite-like carbon from the carbon of the second variety with a second porosity lower than the first porosity, f. and removing the template material, characterized by the following measures: the template material is provided in the form of template particles and the first precursor is provided in the form of precursor particles of a first species of fusible and polymerizable material, wherein for infiltrating according to method step (b) a particle mixture containing template particles and precursor particles of the first species is melted and melt of the first precursor thereby penetrates into the pores of the template particles and foams up therein prior to or during carbonizing according to method step (c) under polycondensation into a pore-containing carbon foam, so that an intermediate product is obtained in which pores of the template material are filled at least in part with a carbon foam, and the intermediate product is ground into intermediate-product particles and the second precursor for the carbon of the second variety is provided in the form of precursor particles of the second species of fusible material, wherein for infiltrating according to method step (c) a particle mixture containing intermediate-product particles and precursor particles of the second species are melted and melt of the second precursor thereby penetrates into pores of the carbon foam and closes the same at least in part after carbonizing according to method step (e) as a shell of graphite-like carbon of the core/shell structure made. a. providing a pore-containing template material consisting of inorganic material, b. infiltrating the pores of the template material with a first precursor for carbon of a first variety, c. carbonizing the first precursor so that in the pores a first deposit of the carbon of the first variety is formed with a first porosity, d. infiltrating pores remaining after carbonizing with a second precursor for carbon of a second variety, e. carbonizing the second precursor, so as to form a second deposit of graphite-like carbon from the carbon of the second variety with a second porosity lower than the first porosity, f. and removing the template material, the template material is provided in the form of template particles and the first precursor is provided in the form of precursor particles of a first species of fusible and polymerizable material, wherein for infiltrating according to method step (b) a particle mixture containing template particles and precursor particles of the first species is melted and melt of the first precursor thereby penetrates into the pores of the template particles and foams up therein prior to or during carbonizing according to method step (c) under polycondensation into a pore-containing carbon foam, so that an intermediate product is obtained in which pores of the template material are filled at least in part with a carbon foam, and the intermediate product is ground into intermediate-product particles and the second precursor for the carbon of the second variety is provided in the form of precursor particles of the second species of fusible material, wherein for infiltrating according to method step (c) a particle mixture containing intermediate-product particles and precursor particles of the second species are melted and melt of the second precursor thereby penetrates into pores of the carbon foam and closes the same at least in part after carbonizing according to method step (e) as a shell of graphite-like carbon of the core/shell structure made.
