Abstract Precise porosity control is highly desirable for improving the electrochemical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Freeze casting is an established method for enabling high bulk porosity in structures and controlling pore orientation. In this study, freeze casting was used to fabricate tubular, anode-supported SOFCs with aligned and varying amounts of porosity by controlling the solids/water ratio in different casting slurries. SOFCs were prepared with a Ni/yttria and scandia stabilized zirconia (ScYSZ) anode support (AS), an anode functional layer (AFL), a ScYSZ electrolyte, a lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM)/ScYSZ cathode interlayer (CIL), and an LSM cathode. The permeability of the anode support was found to increase from 1.4 × 10−2 to 1.8 × 10−2 m2 as porosity was increased from 57 to 64 vol%, while the total cell resistance decreased by 35% from 0.93 to 0.60 Ohm cm2. When evaluated with 30 vol% H2 as the fuel at 800 °C, the decrease of concentration polarization enabled an increase in electrochemical performance by 42% from 0.35 to 0.50 W/cm2 as the porosity in the anode support was increased. Mechanical strength characterization using a three-point method showed there is a practical upper limit of the amount of porosity that can be designed into the anode support. This work paves a way for controlling porosity by freeze casting and understanding the correlation between porosity and concentration polarization losses in SOFCs.
