Various micro/mesoporous activated complex oxides as cathodes or andodes, bilayered Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-d|Zr0.92Y0.08O2-d electrolyte and various Ni-cermet and Ni-free anodes or cathodes have been designed and tested for high power density solid oxide fuel cells (1.5...1.6 W/cm2 (1073 K) and solid oxide electrolyzers. FIB-TOF-SIMS, FIB-SEM-EDX, HTXRD, BET, AFM and electrochemical impedance methods have been applied for analysis of the materials and completed single cells. Influence of porosity distribution (BET and 3D FIB-SEM data), cell potential and fuel composition on power density and fuel conversion efficiency has been demonstrated.
