Abstarct: Fuel cell is an energy converter, which transform chemical energy to electricity. Ni/YSZ cermet is the most important anode materials for SOFC application. One the major problem related to these anode is cocking in the presence of hydrocarbon fuels. Impregnation methode is a recently developed technique to prepare SOFC component with improved properties. In this study the combination of three process including die pressing, screen printing and impregnation, was used to prepare single cell SOFC. The anode supported SOFC was prepared by die pressing. After presintering at 1200°C, the electrolyte (8YSZ) laxyer was coated on anode substrate by screen printing method. The laxyers were then sintered at 1400°C and then the cathode laxyer was screen printed on electrolyte as a LSM/LSM-YSZ laxyer. The sintering temperature was1250°C. After sintering the impregnation was performed using copper and samarium solution and decomposition was carried out at 500°C. The final sintering was 850°C. The performance of the single cell was measured using EIS. The results showed that Cu/Ni/YSZ anode have a good stability in the presence of methane gas. Samarium cause a decrease in the voltage of the cell. The samarium power density at 850°C was 139mW/cm2 for the anode impregnated by copper under hydrogen gas.
