A series of Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)1-xNixO3-δ samples were synthesized by using sol-gel method. Chemical compatibility and stability between the Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)0.9Ni0.1O3-δ (BSCFN10) cathode and the electrolyte BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.2O3-δ (BZCY) were studied, which was used in the PCFCs. Catalytic activity of the electrodes was evaluated by constructing a symmetric cell. It is showed that the BSCFN10 cathode has superior catalytic activity than BSCF. Peak power density of the BSCFN10 cathode was enhanced from 380 mW·cm-2 to 503 mW·cm-2 and the polarization impedance was reduced from 0.21 Ω·cm2 to 0.12 Ω·cm2, as compared with the undoped BSCF within a hydrogen atmosphere containing 3% water vapor at 700 ℃. In addition, the BSCFN10 electrode exhibited excellent operating stability at a current density of 0.4 A·cm-2, showcasing its potential for application in PCFCs.
