Processing, properties and applications of highly porous geopolymers: A review
Abstract
Abstract Geopolymers, possessing a semi-crystalline three-dimensional inorganic network generated by the dissolution and reaction of a solid alumino-silicate source with an activating solution, have attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry because of their unique and favorable characteristics. This review deals with the synthesis, characterization and potential applications of porous geopolymers, realized through different processing routes. Firstly, the processing approaches are divided into five categories: (i) Direct foaming, (ii) Replica method, (iii) Sacrificial filler method, (iv) Additive manufacturing, and (v) Other methods. Their microstructure, porosity and properties are compared and discussed in relation also to the different processing routes. This review highlights the fact that porous geopolymers are promising low-cost candidates for technologically significant applications such as catalyst supports or membranes, filtration of liquid or gases, adsorption and insulation. This review aims at summarizing the main published results and fostering further investigations into developing innovative ways to generate components with improved properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
