Abstract: Ultra-high temperature porous ceramics (UHTCs) exhibited a fascinating combination of properties of porous ceramics including high porosity, high specific surface area, as well as beyond satisfactory physicochemical and high-temperature stability and properties of UHTCs including good high temperature volume stability, outstanding oxidation/ablation resistance, which make it as an appropriate candidate for applications under severe environments, such as high-temperature thermal insulation components, high-temperature hostile gases filtration, high-temperature solar absorptions, etc. Ultra-high temperature porous ceramics have been fabricated by partial sintering, replica, sacrificial template, freeze casting, direct foaming and sol-gel method, based on the different pore-forming mechanism. The ultra-high temperature porous ceramics prepared by partial sintering method had excellent mechanical properties, but its porosity was low, and pore structure was non-uniform. Because the pore morphology of porous ceramics prepared by replica method was inherited form the pore structure of templates, the porous ceramics had high porosity and poor designability for pore structure. The pore size and microstructure of ceramic materials prepared by sacrificial template method can be tailored, but porous ceramics had non-uniform pore size distribution. Porous ceramics prepared by freeze casting, which had emerged as a high-efficiency, low-cost and high porosity; however, its fabricating process was not environmentally friendly due to organic solvents were used as freezing vehicles. The porous ceramics prepared by direct foaming method possessed high porosity and homogeneous pore structure, but the foaming process in a tailored manner was difficult. The ceramic materials prepared by sol-gel method had high porosity, low thermal conductivity, low strength and highcost. In this paper, the preparation, properties and future application of ultra-high temperature porous ceramics were comprehensively reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the fabrication of porous ceramics were summarized. The problems and outlook of ultra-high temperature porous ceramic materials were proposed, which aimed to provide guidance for the preparation of ultra-high temperature porous ceramic materials.
