The anodic polarization resistance was measured using symmetric Ni–GDC20|GDC20|Pt electrolyte-supported cell at a temperature range of 400 to 600 °C. Microstructural refinement was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques in comparison to the bare anode before and after hydrogen reduction at 600 °C and also after anodic performance test. Nanostructuring Pt-nanoparticles with an average particle size of 12.5 nm on Ni/GDC20 anode indicated the lack of electrocatalytic enhancement with the addition of platinum for H2 oxidation reaction in LT-SOFC. %U https://www.acerp.ir/article_90833_86200dfc307c50fe796d5efa32a1d458.pdf
