The sponge's porous structure provides a large specific surface area, enabling it to adsorb and secure the metal plate. The sponge's pore size and porosity can be controlled, effectively securing the metal plate during adsorption, preventing it from sliding or falling off. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
