Removal of gaseous pollutants by using 3DOM-based catalysts: A review.

Catalytic oxidation is a promising technique to control the emission of gaseous pollutants. Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM)-based catalysts have aroused widespread attention because of their high porosity, large surface area and pore volume, superb ability of mass transfer. Therefore, they have been widely used in gaseous pollutants control field, such as soot and methane catalytic combustion, VOCs catalytic oxidation, photocatalytic CO2 reduction and so on. In this review, the recent studies about the preparation and applications of 3DOM catalysts are summarized. At the same time, the advantages and mechanism of the 3DOM catalysts used in gaseous pollutants control are introduced in depth. Finally, the perspective and future direction of 3DOM-based catalysts for gaseous pollutants control are proposed.
