Herein, we fabricated honeycomb ceramics with different porosities and pore shapes via the layer-by-layer deposition of cordierite (2MgO·2Al 2 O 3 ·5SiO 2) particle ink, obtaining proper rheological properties using a direct-writing technology. No collapses as well as minimal cracking and bending were observed in the internal structure of the samples after calcination. We measured and compared the internal porosity and specific surface area of honeycomb ceramics with the same pore shape but different pore dimensions, as well as the same pore dimension but different pore shapes. The samples were both loaded with an γ-Al 2 O 3 washcoat and Pd-based catalyst using the same method for the catalytic combustion of toluene. The different porosity and pore shape influenced the catalytic efficiency. This study may provide some useful guidelines for fabrication of honeycomb ceramics by direct writing technology, which could be used to remove volatile organic pollutants(VOCs).
