BaIn 0.3 Ti 0.7 O 2.85 (BIT07)/BIT07-Ni electrolyte/anode half cell was prepared by reactive sintering for solid oxide fuel cells. The precursors were BaCO 3 , In 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 for electrolyte and BaCO 3 , In 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , NiO, and carbon black for anode. The bi-layers were prepared by a multilayer tape casting and co-firing method. The compositions and microstructures of the phases were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The electrolytes were dense with pure perovskite phase with a thickness about 15 lm. The anodes were porous and no obvious reaction was found between NiO and the precursors of BIT07. *marika.letilly@cnrs-imn.fr
