In a molten carbonate fuel cell, an anode or cathode is made of a sintered material containing a nickel oxide and/or cobalt oxide and a rare earth element oxide. This anode or cathode has a high activity and is stable at high temperatures.

Molten carbonate fuel cell

Fuel cell with improved and stabilized electrode performance having at least one gas diffusion electrode, where the gas diffusion electrode comprises an electronconductive, gas-permeable substrate and an electrode catalyst uniformly distributed on the substrate, the electrode catalyst comprising colonies each consisting of not more than 20 primary particles of noble metal each having a size of 10-30 A and being uniformly distributed and deposited on carrier powder.
