By using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis, the effect of only one drop of Rh-infiltrating solution on the anodic polarization resistance was examined using symmetric Ni&ndash;GDC20|GDC20|Pt electrolyte-supported cell at 400-600 &deg;C. Nanostructural evolution before and after H 2 reduction at 600 &deg;C and also after anodic performance test was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques in comparison to the anode itself. Despite the fine distribution of Rh-infiltrated nanoparticles having average particle size of 11.7 nm, the results showed ineffectiveness and inability of the Rh nanoparticles to succeed in decreasing of anodic polarization resistance for H 2 oxidation reaction in LT-SOFC.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="AWT IMAGE" src="./files/site1/images/q6.png" style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" ></p> LT-SOFC, anode, Ni/GDC cermet, infiltration, rhodium catalyst. 43 49 http://ijmse.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1055-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 F.
