Nickel (Ni) is expected to be an attractive anode material for protonic ceramic fuel cells using Y-doped BaZrO3 (BZY) as an electrolyte, since Ni shows good catalytic properties for the anode reaction, and NiO is a sintering aid for BZY. In this work, a systematic investigation has been performed to reveal the influence of Ni incorporation on structural and electrochemical properties of BZY. Then, some new knowledge was obtained; the important point is that Ni cations occupy the interstitial position of (1/2, 0, 0) in the lattice of BZY, with a greatly Ba-deficient environment. As a result, Ba cations were possibly driven to the grain boundary and induced the formation of a liquid phase, which promoted the sintering process. However, the occupation of Ni on this (1/2, 0, 0) position also resulted in a negative influence on conductivity. A careful processing is required to apply Ni as the electrode in BZY based fuel cells.
