Electrolyte supported cells (ESC), with Sc 2 O 3 ‐stabilized ZrO 2 (ScSZ) electrolytes, Gd‐doped ceria (CGO) or M/CGO (M = Ni, Ru) infiltrated Sr 0.94 Ti 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 3 (STN94) anodes and LSM/YSZ cathodes, were evaluated for their initial performance and long‐term stability. Power density for the Ru/CGO infiltrated cell reached ∼0.7 W cm –2 at 850 °C, 4% H 2 O/H 2 , whereas the Ni/CGO infiltrated cell reached ∼0.3 W cm –2 , with the current morphologies and loadings. Operation at 0.125 A cm –2 , 850 °C, feeding 50% H 2 O/H 2 to the anode and air to the cathode, for a period >300 h, showed superior stability for the Ru/CGO infiltrated cell, with ∼0.04 mV h –1 degradation rate, when compared to the Ni/CGO infiltrated cell (∼0.5 mV h –1 ). For the Ni/CGO case, the observed degradation has been tentatively linked to initial changes in the electrochemical active area and long‐term detrimental interactions between components.
