In the present study, glass/ceramic hybrid fibers were chosen as a paper matrix, which effectively balance toughness and high-temperature resistance for soot combustion applications. In order to address the issue of unevenness in the performance of paper-type catalysts caused by the differences in the dispersion behavior of glass fibers and ceramic fibers in water, a facile foam-forming technology was proposed. The obtained glass fiber/mullite composite paper with various mass ratios (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1) exhibit high evenness, and better high-temperature resistance than the pure glass fibers. After impregnating K-Mn active ingredients, 15K5Mn-GFF-3G1C (GF/CF = 3:1) demonstrates high tensile strength, excellent catalytic activity (T50 = 388 °C), reusability (five cycles), and high-temperature stability (800 °C, 12 h).
