Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have been attracting much interest as alternative and efficient energy conversion system for next generation.    Ni–yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermets anode film was prepared with laser ablation method. However, large volumetric changes of cermets film and Ni agglomeration cause micro-crack and delaminating thin film in reducing atmosphere. Therefore, investigations for thin film anode have been hardly progressed up to now. We studied dense La(Sr)Fe(Mn)O_3-δ (La_0.6Sr_0.4Fe_0.9Mn_0.1O₃-δ, LSFM) thin ceramic film as an dense anode concept for expanding reaction site from three phase boundary (anode–electrolyte–gas) to two phase one (anode–gas phase) by PLD process. In our previous work, metallic substrate was studied as the porous anode in IT-SOFC. The Ni–Fe substrate exhibited excellent tolerance against thermal-/redox- cycling. Furthermore, the cell using Ni–Fe anodic metal substrate exhibited fairly high power density at intermediate temperature. However, the power density of metal-supported cell was slightly lower than that of cermets-supported cell in our previous study because of limited number of three phase boundary. In order to achieve high power density and stability of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC),  Ce(Mn,Fe)O₂(CMF)-La(Sr)Fe(Mn)O₃-_δ (LSFM) dense nano-film anode is introduced between Ni–Fe metallic substrate and LaGaO₃ base oxide electrolyte. Although it is believed that three phase boundary (TPB) is essentially required for anode active site, the cell using CMF-LSFM mixed conducting thin film anode exhibits reasonable power density comparing with that of the cell with a simple porous Ni–Fe anode, however, slightly decreased comparing with that of LSFM single layer. The maximum power density of the cell having CMF-LSFM film is approximately 2.0 W/cm² at 973 K. On the other hand, application of double columnar composite of CMF/LSFM shows much smaller anodic overpotential and higher power density at intermediate temperature. Therefore, this study reported the dense film of CMF and LSFM with few 100 nm thickness can be used as dense anode.
