Abstract: The recent research progress of anode materials for solid oxide fuel cell is reviewed. Firstly, the fundamental criteria for the anode materials are introduced. Secondly, the advantages and disadvantages of all sorts of anode materials at present are compared. Particularly, the recent studies of conventional cermet anode and new-style perovskite anode are described in detail. Finally, the future development directions are proposed．

Key words: solid oxide fuel cell; anode; cermet; perovskite
