AB Since the beginning of civilization, porous materials have been used for medical purposes. Some studies have reported that the first uses of applications of porous materials were carried out by the Ancient Egyptian or Western Africans, where porous charcoal or clay minerals were used as antidiarrheal medicine [1,2]. The use of charcoal continued to be used for medical purposes throughout history. Indeed, the Hindi civilization used charcoal for the purification of H2O [3].
