Solid oxide fuel cell

A solid oxide fuel cell is provided that includes an anode current collecting layer, a cathode, an electrolyte layer, and an anode active layer. The anode current collecting layer contains Ni or NiO, and an oxide represented by a general formula AEZr0 3 where AE is one or a combination of two or more selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr, Mg, and Ba. The electrolyte layer is disposed between the anode current collecting layer and the cathode. The anode active layer is disposed between the electrolyte layer and the anode current collecting layer.
