These porous ceramics include high surface and cellular architectures such as honeycombs, foams, scaffolds, hollow fibers, fiber networks, membranes, nano-, micro- and meso-porous materials, monoliths and coatings possessing hierarchical porosity, as well as structures produced by the replication of biological templates or by additive manufacturing technologies.
Such porous components find use in a wide range of emerging applications in environmental protection, water purification, energy production and saving, molecular scale sensing, optical devices and a number of advanced industrial applications.
