✦ Synopsis
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are becoming promising candidates for highly efficient energy generation from conventional and biomass-derived fuels due to different reasons: (i) electricity can be obtained directly from a fuel; (ii) the subproduct is a high quality hot gas stream, usable in (micro)turbines and for building central heating (CHP units [1]); (iii) zero-emission operation is achieved when hydrogen is fuelled; (iv) SOFCs can operate besides H 2 with light hydrocarbons, methanol or even bio-alcohols without extensive fuel purification and reforming and (v) SOFCs are noiseless and modular. However, conventional SOFCs need to operate in the 800-1,000 °C temperature range. The reduction of the operating temperature below 700 °C implies that the elec-

## Abstract In this work, powders of La~0.6~Sr~0.4~Fe~0.8~Co~0.2~O~3–δ~ were prepared by the auto‐combustion of ethylene glycol–metal nitrate polymerised gel precursor. This method (polymeric organic complex solution) allows decreasing the processing temperature and simplifies the whole procedure.
