NiO/Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9-x (NiO/CGO) films with thicknesses between 150 and 800 nm were prepared by spray pyrolysis. Average grain sizes were 5-260 nm after annealing in air at 600-1200 degrees C. After reduction, the Ni/CGO cermet microstructures were stable up to temperatures of 600 degrees C for grain sizes of 53 nm. Nickel coarsening was observed for films with smaller grains. The development of a rigid CGO grain network helped to prevent nickel growth. The electrical conductivities of the films were comparable to state-of-the-art Ni-YSZ cermets and reached 3000 S cm(-1) at 600 degrees C. Films with stable microstructures showed no degradation in electrical conductivity over 1400 h at 570 degrees C and upon thermal cycling. A transition from three-dimensional metallic Percolation of cermets with small grains and large thickness to two-dimensional percolation for films with grain sizes in the range of the layer thickness was observed.
