Six single phase La 1–x Ca x Cr 1–y Ti y–γ Ru γ O 3–δ (x = 0.1, 0.2, y = 1.0, 0.8 and γ = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2) compositions are prepared by solid state reaction. Oxygen non‐stoichiometry, electrical conductivity, catalytic activity, and electrochemical efficiency of these compositions is investigated over a wide temperature and oxygen partial pressure range. The compositions with the highest electrical conductivity (50 S cm –1 ) at reducing conditions and highest catalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrocarbons are found. A combination of highly conductive La 1–x Ca x TiO 3–δ in a reducing atmosphere and an intermediate functional film of catalytically active La 0.1 Ca 0.9 Ti 1–x Ru x O 3–δ for the oxidation of hydrocarbons could potentially be very useful in a multilayer SOFC anode.
