“…Owing to the existence of pores, porous metallic materials give them the dual attributes of being structural and functional [1,2], which has attracted much attention in recent years. With many extraordinary characteristics, such as low relative density, large specific surface area, lightweight, sound insulation, and energy absorption, porous metals are widely applied in lightweight [3,4], medical implants [5][6][7], filtration and separation [8,9], sound absorption and noise reduction [10][11][12], heat exchange [13][14][15] and battery catalysis [16,17]. Therefore, a porous structure with channeled pores and pore sizes less than 100 µm plays a particularly important role in physical and chemical performance owing to the excellent connectivity and high specific surface area of the micropores.…”
