Abstract

Abstract Porous intermetallic membrane with extensive interconnected pores are potential candidates as functional materials for high-temperature particulate matter (PM) capturing. However, fabrication of intermetallic membrane with a combined performance of high filtration efficiency and high-temperature oxidation resistance remains a challenge. To tackle this issue, a hierarchical micro-/nano-dual-scale sized pores was constructed on the inner cell walls of a porous support through mutual diffusion and chemical reaction. Benefited from its hierarchical micro/nano-dual-scaled pore structural features, the high Nb containing TiAl-based porous composite microfiltration membrane demonstrates ultrahigh PM>2.5removal efficiency (99.58%) and favorable oxidation/sulfidation performance at high temperature. These features, combined with our experimental design strategy, provide insight into designing high-temperature PM filtration membrane materials with enhanced performance and durability.
