NiO-GDC, NiO-YSZ, NiO-Fe2O3-GDC, NiO-Fe2O3-YSZ anode tube supported tubular fuel cells was fabricated at the co-sintering temperature from 1250 oC to 1400 oC to investigate the relation between the densification of electrolyte layer and the open-circuit voltage. To focus on the changing of anode tube, all the tubular fuel cells support a ScSZ electrolyte layer and a LSCF cathode layer. The microstructure of the electrolyte layer sintered under 1300 oC included pores inside it, and the densification of the electrolyte completed at the sintering temperatures above 1300 oC. As the increasing of co-sintering temperature, the ScSZ electrolyte layer on the anode tube will become structurally sound and crack-free. The shrinkage both in length and in diameter of a tubular fuel cell reaches as much as 20% at co-sintering temperature of 1400 oC. So, it will result in the changing of open-circuit voltage of fuel cell from 1.0 V to 1.1 V
