✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Ag has been shown to be a good metal for SOFC anode cermets using CO fuel. Here we have expanded on the work reported by testing Ag‐YSZ cermets against different hydrocarbon based fuel (H~2~ and CH~4~). This study shows that while Ag is a good current collector, it alone does not have the required catalytic activity for the direct oxidation of hydrocarbon based fuels needed to be used in SOFC anodes. As such an additional catalytic material (e.g. CeO~2~) needs to be present when using fuels other then CO.

## Abstract The anodes for direct utilisation of hydrocarbon fuels have been developed by using Cu/Ceria‐based nano‐composite powders. The CuO/GDC/YSZ–YSZ or CuO/GDC‐GDC nano‐composite powders were synthesised by coating nano‐sized CuO and CeO~2~ particles on the YSZ or GDC core particles selective
## Abstract The electrochemical performance of an anode material for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) depends highly on microstructure in addition to composition. In this study, a NiO–yttria‐stabilised zirconia (NiO–YSZ) composite with a highly dispersed microstructure and large pore volume/surface a
