CuCo 2 O 4 ‐Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 (GDC) composite was investigated as a potentially promising cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT‐SOFCs). The CuCo 2 O 4 ‐GDC composite cathodes were characterized via X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal expansion. CuCo 2 O 4 ‐GDC composites exhibited a good chemical compatibility and thermal compatibility for each composition. Introduction of the GDC nanoparticles increased the length of TPBs and enhanced the electrochemical activities of the CuCo 2 O 4 ‐GDC composite cathode. The polarization resistance with addition of 60 wt.% of GDC showed the least value of 0.09 Ω cm 2 at 800 °C. The results demonstrated that CuCo 2 O 4 ‐GDC composite would be a promising cathode material for IT‐SOFCs.
