Physical and electrochemical properties of alkaline earth doped, rare earth vanadates

► Infiltration procedures were used to prepare SOFC anodes from various vanadates. ► Doping of Alkaline Earth to Rare Earth Vanadates showed to improve conductivity and chemical stability. ► Alkaline Earth Doped Rare Earth Vanadates-YSZ composites showed conductivities as high as 5 S cm−1 at 973 K. ► As with other ceramic anodes, the addition of a catalyst was required to achieve low anode impedance.
