For intermediate temperature SOFCs, however, Ni-CGO is the popular anode material. While CGO on its own lacks electronic conductivitywhich is therefore compensated by addition of Niit shows high ionic conductivity 105 . A further drawback of Ni-CGO anode is its mechanical strength, but it shows reduced carbon deposition when used with hydrocarbon fuels and therefore is a vital alternative to Ni-YSZ based anode materials 106 . The anode, however, is relatively less significant than the electrolyte and cathode because of its less limiting role in cell performance. we believe that looking for new materials families and improving the performance of already identified materials will be instrumental in further developing the SOFCs technology.
