Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) Structures in 3D‐Printed Catalyst Supports: Advanced Optimization of Heat Transfer, Mass Transport, and Mechanical Stability for Catalysis

ABSTRACT Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures have emerged as a transformative platform for 3D‐printed catalyst supports, offering precise control over porous architectures to optimize heat transfer, mass transport, and mechanical stability in heterogeneous catalysis. This exhaustive review delves into the mathematical foundations of TPMS, advanced additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, multi‐physics modeling, and diverse catalytic applications. By integrating cutting‐edge research from 2018 to 2025, the review addresses critical challenges in conventional systems, such as thermal hotspots and inefficient reactant distribution, while highlighting TPMS‐driven innovations in energy conversion and environmental remediation. Special emphasis is placed on material science advancements and sustainable manufacturing strategies, providing a roadmap for next‐generation catalytic systems.

By integrating cutting‐edge research from 2018 to 2025, the review addresses critical challenges in conventional systems, such as thermal hotspots and inefficient reactant distribution, while highlighting TPMS‐driven innovations in energy conversion and environmental remediation. Special emphasis is placed on material science advancements and sustainable manufacturing strategies, providing a roadmap for next‐generation catalytic systems.
