In this paper, a new approach for metal-supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) fabrication was investigated. Single cell with NiO and Fe 2 O 3 (Ni: Fe= 1: 1) oxide support, NiO-Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 (GDC) anode, GDC electrolyte and La 0.4 Sr 0.6 Co 0.2 Fe 0.7 Nb 0.1 O 3-δ (LSCFN) cathode was prepared through traditional ceramic processing methods in air. Subsequently, the as-prepared whole cell was annealed in the humidified 5% H 2-95% N 2 at 700 C for 1 hour to get the metal oxide support reduced. Results show that after being annealed in the reducing atmosphere at 700 C for 1 hour, the oxide support was mostly reduced into metal, while the LSCFN cathode maintained its perovskite structure with slightly oxygen loss which was proved redox reversible in air at the typical cell test temperature of 700 C. Fully reduced Ni-Fe metal support could be obtained during the cell test condition with humidified H 2 sweeping at the anode side. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results show that the polarization resistance of LSCFN symmetrical cell in air decreased after one redox cycle between the humidified 5% H 2-95% N 2 and air, suggesting the performance optimization of LSCFN cathode after the possible rearrangement of mixed-valence Fe 3+/Fe 4+ and Co 2+/Co 3+ redox couples and distribution of oxygen vacancies.
