Novel Ni-Fe alloy supported solid oxide fuel cells, with Ni cermet as functional anode, La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 coated Ba0.5Sr0.5CO0.2Fe0.8O3 as cathode and Gd-doped Ce2O3 as electrolyte, are successfully fabricated by the cost effective method of tape casting-screen printing-cofiring. The Ni-Fe porous substrate is obtained by reduction (in H-2 at 650 degrees C for 2 h) of sintered NiO-10 wt% Fe2O3 consisting of NiO and NiFe2O4. The cell is subjected to evaluation in the aspects of electrochemical performance and redox capability at temperatures between 500 and 650 degrees C. The result shows a peak power density of 1.04 W cm(-2) at 650 degrees C. Furthermore, the metal support cell exhibits excellent tolerance to redox cycles. Five redox recycles for cells are operated at 600 degrees C, which shows no significant degradation in open circuit voltage and power density. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
