The Cover Feature shows how moderate amounts of La 5.4 WO 12− δ (LW) could reduce coking rate when using CH 4 as fuel. This is mainly due to the beneficial phase reaction between LW and Ni–yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) anode. The synergistic effect in the new anode could remove the deposited carbon in the form of CO 2 . Through a series of characterizations it was found that the excellent coking resistance is mainly due to the adsorbed water caused by WO 3− x − δ .
