A fuel cell anode consisting of gadolinia doped ceria and Ni‐Cu alloy cermet was investigated in CH 4 fuel. Continuous operational times are reported up to 2,000 h. Morphological and electrochemical analyses are presented. These correlate the initial anode porosity with cell performance. Finally, redox experiments showed the possibility of using CH 4 only as a reducing agent.
