an anode and a cathode each comprising a perovskite comprising Sr 2 Fe 1.5 Mo 0.5 O 6 on opposite sides of an electrolyte support.
2. The fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the perovskite is synthesized by a microwave-assisted combustion method.
3. The fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein a dry-pressing method is utilized to form the electrolyte support.
4. The fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the perovskite is synthesized with a metal precursor.
5. The fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the pH is controlled during formation of the anode and cathode.
6. The fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein perovskite slurry is utilized to form the anode and cathode.
7. The fuel cell of claim 1 , further comprising operating the anode as a cathode.
8. The fuel cell of claim 1 , further comprising operating the cathode as an anode.
