本研究以氧化釤添加氧化鈰(Samaria-doped Ceria)簡稱(SDC)，
混合硝酸鎳製成Ni-SDC作為固態氧化物燃料電池之陽極觸媒材料，在閉路的條件下，進行直接甲烷和直接甲烷內部蒸氣重組反應，並改變反應的溫度、陽極的燒結溫度及加入水氣的量，測量電池的電流，並以阻抗(impedance)分析法探討電池的阻力。

實驗結果發現，電池的電流隨著反應溫度的升高而增加，應該是溫度愈高則電解質傳導氧離子的能力愈強，且反應的活性也是隨著溫度的上升而提昇。陽極燒結的溫度愈高，所表現出來的結果也愈好，可能是此時陽極的結構較緻密，陽極本身形成好的連結，進行電化學反應時能將電子快速的傳導出去，所以測得的電流較大，電池的反應阻力也較小。進行甲烷蒸氣重組反應時，在陽極上完全沒有積碳的生成，且電池都處在很穩定的狀態下，表示電池能夠長時間進行放電。

另外，在實驗中也發現積碳有導電的功能，可作為陽極表面上金屬之間的橋樑；當金屬擔載量不足時，積碳不但能夠增加陽極的導電性，也因此能有效地傳導電子而促進電化學反應的發生，使電池電流增加。
