N2 - Reversible Solid Oxide Cells (r-SOCs) are an attractive electrochemical energy conversion technology that can act as both a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) for power generation, and a Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) for steam electrolysis. Unfortunately, Ni-zirconia cermet, which is widely used in SOFCs, has the problem that the electronically conductive phases, Ni, agglomerates due to redox reactions and breaks the conductive path, resulting in performance degradation. In this study, we fabricated an alternative fuel electrode with a stable conductive structure using both an ionic conductor Ce0.9Gd0.1O2 (GDC) and an electronic conductor Sr0.9La0.1TiO3(LST), and we co-impregnate Ni and GDC to the fuel electrode using only Ni as an electrocatalyst. The durability of the conventional fuel electrode and our alternative fuel electrode was compared and evaluated, and the potential of the alternative fuel electrode material was demonstrated.
