Porous YSZ ceramics have been gaining popularity throughout the years in varied fields such as energy, environment, medicine and etc. Although YSZ is a well-studied material, voided YSZ particles have not been showed yet and might play an important role in next technology developments. A sol-gel synthesis accompanied by a freeze-drying process is currently being proposed as a method of obtaining sponge-like nano morphology of embedded faceted voids inside yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) particles. The results rely on a freeze-drying stage as an effective and simple method for generating nano-porous YSZ based morphologies without the usage of template-assisted additives.
