A single anode for IT-SOFCs promoting the direct oxidation of various dry fuels

Here we report on the preparation and the electrochemical investigation of an all perovskite IT-SOFC consisting of a Ni-modified LSFC anode, assembled together with LSGM electrolyte, and LSFC cathode. To enhance ionic percolation in the anode layer and to promote electrocatalytic oxidation of organic fuels, the Ni-modified perovskite is mixed with ceria-gadolinia to form a composite anode.
