Abstract. A composite Ni–perovskite anode was investigated for operation in dry propane-fed intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC). A La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Co0.2O3 (LSFCO) perovskite, characterized by mixed electronic–ionic conductivity, was used to support a highly dispersed Ni-phase. However, the catalyst structure was modified during SOFC operation. X-ray diffraction anal…
