Anode supported solid oxide fuel cell

The present invention relates to a reversible solid oxide fuel cell obtainable by a method comprising the steps of: - providing an anode support layer; - forming an anode layer on the anode support layer; - forming an electrolyte layer on the anode layer; - forming a cathode precursor layer on the electrolyte; - sintering the obtained multilayer structure; - forming a cathode layer on the electrolyte by impregnating the cathode precursor layer; - characterised in that the method further comprises prior to forming said cathode layer, - impregnating a precursor solution or suspension of a barrier material into the cathode precursor layer and subsequently conducting a heat treatment.
