Abstract
A composite anode for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), comprising an anode support layer (ASL) of Ni—YSZ and an anode functional layer (AFL) of Ni—GDC, displays enhanced mechanical stability and similar or improved electrical efficiency to that of a Ni—GDC ASL for otherwise identical SOFCs. A SOFC employing the composite anode can be used for power generation at temperatures below 700° C., where the composite anode may include a second AFL of GDC disposed between the Ni—GDC layer and a GDC electrolyte.
