A tubular anode supported SOFCs with NiO-BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ (BZCYYb)/SDC/LSCF structure was fabricated by in-situ dip coating and one-step sintering technology. The electrochemical performance
thermal cycling performance and operating stability under working voltage of the single cell were obtained with the moist H2 (3% (vol) H2O) as fuel and air as oxidant. The results indicate that the open-circuit voltage were 1.084

respectively. The results also suggest that the single cell running stablely in continuous discharge testing process at 700℃ and 0.7 V without obvious decline. The single cell had successfully experienced thermal cycling test for eleven times and the output power was stable. These results presented that the cell showed good thermo-mechanical properties and was able to withstand the repeated start-up tests. The developed SOFCs with new kind of anode (NiO-BZCYYb) are highly promising for industrial and commercial development applications in future.
