A novel cathode material of (Nd0.9La0.1)1.6Sr0.4Ni0.75Cu0.25O3.8 (NLSNC4), is synthesized by solid state reaction and is further investigated in combination with samarium doped ceria (SDC) as composite cathodes including 0, 10, 30, 50, and 70 of SDC electrolyte phase. The X‐ray diffraction analysis showed that NLSNC4 was produced in pure phase and was chemically compatible with SDC electrolyte. Electrical conductivities of single phase and composite cathode materials along with their electrochemical performances on SDC electrolytes in symmetric cells were measured by DC four‐probe method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. Results indicated that the maximum electrical conductivity is 135.56 S cm−1 at 350 °C, measured for single phase NLSNC4, sintered at 1,300 °C. Polarization resistance of pure NLSNC4 cathode was 2.71 Ω cm2 at 800 °C, and NLSNC4‐x wt.% SDC composite cathodes displayed Rp value of 0.35, 0.14, 0.12, and 0.32 Ω cm2 at 800 °C, for x = 10, 30, 50, and 70, respectively.
