The influence of the oxide component in Ni–oxide based cermet anodes on the performance stability was examined at 1000 ◦ C with a supply of highly humidified hydrogen, 40% H 2 O–60% H 2 . Three types of anodes were applied; Ni–samaria-doped ceria (Ni–SDC), Ni–yttria-stabilized zirconia (Ni–YSZ), and Ni–scandia-stabilized zirconia (Ni–ScSZ). Abrupt deterioration in performance was confirmed during constant current operation for the cells with Ni–YSZ and Ni–ScSZ anodes, accompanied with a drastic increase in ohmicresistancebetweentheanodeandreferenceelectrode.Incontrast,theperformanceofcellwithNi–SDCanodewasprettystablefor48h.Thesedifferencesinperformancestabilityweresignificantlyrelatedtothelocalpartialpressureofsteaminthevicinityof theelectrochemicallyactivesitesbecausethesurfaceoxidationofnickelparticlesresultedinthedeterioration.ThemicrostructuralchangesinNi–YSZandNi–SDCanodesupondischargewerealsoquantifiedbythedual–beamfocusedionbeam–scanningelectron microscopy(FIB–SEM).Theelectrochemicalbehaviorobservedineachanodehadastrongcorrelationwiththeanodemicrostructuresuchastriplephaseboundarylengthandnickelparticlesize.
