In the past few years, threeâdimensional selfâsupporting porous magnetic assemblies (3DâSPMAs) have emerged as a new research area in materials science because of their combined features of threeâdimensional selfâsupporting porous assemblies (3DâSPAs) and magnetic materials. Due to these attributes, 3DâSPMAs gain numerous tempting properties such as magnetismâinduced actuating, magnetic shape memory effects, and alternative magnetic field (AMF) induced heat generation, showcasing huge potential in diverse applications stretching over water remediation, actuators, biomedical therapy, etc. Especially, 3DâSPMAs displayed eminent potential in water remediation for their large processing capacity, remote controllability, and magneticâfieldâmediated wettability. With the rising interest in 3DâSPAs, the increasing understanding of magnetic materials, and the flourish of materials preparation technique, an upsurge has appeared in 3DâSPMAs and thus managing them a class of emerging and promising functional materials. However, currently there are rarely review papers concerning 3DâSPMAs. In this light, this review aims to express a comprehensive overview of this young field and fuel further innovations for preparation methods and practical applications of 3DâSPMAs. The focus is placed on the synthetic strategies and applications especially in water remediation. The potential opportunities and challenges are also discussed.
