The invention relates to a substrate induction method used for preparing an ordered porous carbon film. The method is characterized in that: a precursor is prepared into a solution, and is stirred and mixed with an organic surfactant solution; under substrate induction, through wet film formation, solvent evaporation, and drying, a solid organic film is obtained; after carbonization, the ordered porous carbon film is obtained. The carbon film has an average pore size of 0.7-100nm. The method comprises the steps that: 1, a film forming solution or sol is prepared; 2, film forming is carried out on a solid substrate; and 3, carbonization is carried out. According to the invention, the organic substance is adopted as the surfactant, and is mixed with the precursor solution; under a certain substrate induction effect, through processes such as solvent evaporation, self-assembling, drying, and carbonization, and through the adjustments on preparation process parameters, the porous carbon film with ordered pore channel structure is prepared, and the control over ordered porous carbon film order degree or regularity is realized.
