The chemical and electrochemical stability of lanthanide nickelates La2NiO4+delta (LNO), Pr2NiO4+delta (PNO) and their mixed compounds La2-xPrxNiO4+delta (LPNOs) with x = 0.5, 1 or 1.5 is reported. The aim is to promote these materials as efficient electrodes for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and/or solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC). La2NiO4+delta and La1.5Pr0.5NiO4+delta compounds are chemically very stable as powders over one month in the temperature range 600 - 800 degrees C, while the other materials rich in praseodymium progressively decompose into various perovskite-deriving components with additional Pr6O11. Despite their uneven properties, all these materials are quite efficient and sustainable as electrodes on top of gadolinium doped ceria (GDC(BL)) // yttrium doped zirconia (8YSZ) electrolyte, for one month at 700 degrees C without polarization. Under polarization (300 mA.cm(-2)), the electrochemical performances of LNO, PNO and La1.5Pr0.5NiO4+delta (LP5NO) quickly degrade in SOFC mode, i.e. for the oxygen reduction reaction, while they show durability in SOEC mode, i.e. for the oxide oxidation reaction.
