Porous ceramics are lightweight materials with diverse pore structures and are widely applied in areas such as thermal insulation, sound absorption, filtration, catalysis, and energy storage. However, excessive shrinkage during the sintering process of porous ceramics leads to cracking and deterioration, posing significant challenges for achieving complex shapes. Despite its importance, the field of low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics has not received sufficient attention. This review systematically discusses the principles and progress in the development of low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics. First, we introduce the characteristics of various preparation methods, including partial sintering, particle-stabilized foaming, gel-casting, foam-gelcasting, and additive manufacturing (AM). We then explain three primary principles of low sintering shrinkage from the perspectives of the volume effect and mass transfer processes. This review focuses on the properties and applications of typical low sintering shrinkage ceramics such as mullite and alumina, particularly their mechanical properties and thermal conductivity as thermal insulation and ceramic cores. Finally, we summarize the current state and present future perspectives on low sintering shrinkage porous ceramics.

The construction of bimetallic sites with strong interaction can effectively regulate the electronic structure and modulate the adsorption behavior of adsorbate species on bimetallic catalysts, thereby overcoming catalytic bottlenecks. Herein, an RhPb bimetallene(RhPb b-ML) with the strong d-p orbital hybridization is proposed for efficiently catalyzing ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR). Notably, the specific EOR activity of RhPb b-ML is 32 and 6.8 times higher than those of Rh metallene and commercial Pt/C, respectively. Theoretical calculation analysis reveals that the introduction of Pb atoms into the Rh lattice leads to an upward shift of the d-band center of Rh on RhPb(111). The shift in the d-band center is primarily attributed to the different degrees of hybridization between the d sub-orbitals of Rh and the p-orbitals of Pb, which enhance the adsorption of key species and improve EOR activity and selectivity. In-situ infrared tests and high-performance liquid chromatography tests together confirm that RhPb b-ML not only exhibits enhanced ability for the breakage of C–C bonds but also effectively suppresses the generation of absorbed CO. Furthermore, the strategy of enhancing catalyst performance through the strong d-p orbital hybridization has been demonstrated to be scalable to other bimetallic catalysts, providing valuable insights for the design of advanced catalysts.
