Abstract
The present work aims at producing an electrocatalyst suitable to be used as anode in solid oxide fuel cells that operate with hydrocarbons or alcohols as fuel. The main challenge is to avoid carbon deposition during operation with carbonaceous fuels. Therefore, a cerium-cobalt-copper anode was developed, characterised and tested with methane or ethanol fuel, resulting in reasonable power densities and no evidence of carbon deposition as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. SEM/EDX analysis showed the integrity of anode microstructure and phase distribution after the ageing procedure.
