Carbon resistant and redox stable anodes have been intensively studied aiming at effective fuel-flex solid oxide fuel cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Cr 0.50 Mn 0.50 O 3 (LSCM) perovskite has comparable performance in both hydrogen and methane fueled SOFCs. In the present study, LSCM compounds with partial substitutions of either Mn or Cr by Ru (LSCM-Ru) were synthesized and characterized. Thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to study the thermal evolution of precursor resins and phase formation. The electrical properties were investigated by 4-probe measurements in the 25-800°C temperature range. X-ray diffraction data evidenced that single phase compounds were obtained at 1200°C, without significant structural distortions up to ~ 10 at.% Ru. The electrical resistivity data showed that the transport properties depend on the substituted cation. In addition, the formation of Ru nanoparticles on the surface of LSCM-Ru grains suggests that LSCM-Ru compounds have enhanced catalytic activity for carbon containing fuels.
