✦ Synopsis

We developed a new nickel-free anode for a low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (LTSOFC) that demonstrated an outstanding electrochemical output of 1000 mW cm -2 at 550 • C. The nanostructure anode had good conductivity and was compatible with cerium oxide-based electrolytes. The performance of a single cell was comparable and or better than those using standard Ni-YSZ and Ni-SDC electrodes (anode). It may have applications for hydrocarbon-based fuel for preventing carbon deposition and replacing nickel in the anode of LTSOFCs.
