Abstract: | NiO-Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (Ni-SDC) composite anode powders are synthesized with a hydrothermal technique. The average size of the particles in the anode powder is about 10 nm. Different phases distribute uniformly in the composite. The anode sintered at 700 °C exhibits an electrical conductivity of above 100 S cm?1, three orders of magnitude higher than that of a similar solid-mixed composite anode with the same composition. The anode synthesized through the hydrothermal process also possesses a higher catalytic activity. An SDC-carbonate composite electrolyte-supported single cell with the composite anode exhibits a maximum power density of 738 mW cm?2 at 700 °C with H2 as fuel, much higher than that of a similar cell with a solid-mixed anode. The cell also exhibits a promising stability with methanol as fuel. |
