Abstract: Metal support solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFC) resembles with conventional solid oxide fuel cells in materials and fabrication schemes, with main difference being loading bear component. MS-SOFC relies heavily on porous metallic supporting structure, and offers competitive advantages such as low materials cost, high tolerance towards rapid thermal cycling, excellent structural robustness and sealing efficiency.However, MS-SOFC remains many major challenges in support materials, cell preparation and fuel selection due to the distinct physical and chemical pro-perties in metal and ceramic materials. For recent research on MS-SOFC, in addition to the metal support materials and preparation process, efforts have been made to prepare the anode function layer, electrolyte and cathode on the metal substrate by thin file technology and continually optimize preparation process of MS-SOFC according to the different microstructure for porous electrode and dense electrolyte. For directly using CH4 based fuel in MS-SOFC, nano-structured metallic support are prepared by infiltrating nano catalytic particles into metal support to improve CH4 reforming activity and carbon resistance. In addition, an extra layer with high catalytic activity is applied on the metallic support to on-cell reform the hydrocarbon fuel and improve the stability of CH4 fueled MS-SOFC. The objective of this article is to provide a critical and comprehensive review in the recent development of MS-SOFC, metallic support materials and fabrication process, as well as the key issue in direct CH4 MS- SOFC. The issues raised by MS-SOFC fabrication process are also presented and analyzed to provide some guidelines in the search for new fabrication schemes for MS-SOFC. Emphasis will be placed on Ni-Fe alloy support SOFC with CH4 fuel. The methods of enhancing the catalytic activity of metal support are proposed according to the characters of metal support. Finally, the development trends of metal support for direct methane SOFC are discussed.
