The mutual effects of heat transfer and ions distribution on YSZ with porous structures have been investigated in this paper. Various of porous YSZ microstructures were simulated to elucidate the relationships of ions spacial distribution and heat transfer from atomic perspective. Typical ion movement and the phonon vibrational density of state were investigated in various porous systems. The simulation results show that thermal transport behavior bonds close to the ions distribution in porous systems. The ions distribution nearby pores in the system have a predictable reduction effects on thermal transport behavior, which could lead to a decrease in thermal conductivity.
