Due to the development of new materials, fuel cells are emerging as generating clean energy generator. Among the types of fuel cells, categorized according to the electrode type, the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) stand out due to be the only device entirely made of solid particles. Beyond that, their operation temperature is relatively high (between 500 and 1000 ?C), allowing them to operate with high efficiency. Another aspect that promotes the use of SOFC over other cells is their ability to operate with different fuels. The CeO2 based materials doped with rare earth (TR+3) may be used as alternatives to traditional NiO-YSZ anodes as they have higher ionic conductivity and smaller ohmic losses compared to YSZ, and can operate at lower temperatures (500-800?C). In the composition of the anode, the concentration of NiO, acting as a catalyst in YSZ provides high electrical conductivity and high electrochemical activity of reactions, providing internal reform in the cell. In this work compounds of NiO - Ce1-xEuxO2-δ (x = 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were synthesized from polymeric precursor, Pechini, method of combustion and also by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The materials were characterized by the techniques of TG, TPR, XRD and FEG-SEM. The refinement of data obtained by X-ray diffraction showed that all powders of NiO - Cex-1EuxO2-δ crystallized in a cubic phase with fluorite structure, and also the presence of Ni. Through the characterizations can be proved that all routes of preparation used were effective for producing ceramics with characteristics suitable for application as SOFC anodes, but the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method showed a significant reduction in the average grain size and improved control of the compositions of the phases / C?lulas a combust?vel s?o dispositivos eletroqu?micos que convertem a energia qu?mica em el?trica. Em virtude do desenvolvimento de novos materiais, as c?lulas a combust?vel v?m se destacando como promissores na gera??o de energia de forma limpa. Dentre os tipos de c?lulas a combust?vel, classificadas de acordo com o tipo de eletr?lito, destacam-se as de ?xido s?lido (SOFC), por serem as ?nicas inteiramente constitu?das por s?lidos. Al?m disso, pela sua temperatura de opera??o ser relativamente elevada (entre 500 e 1000 ?C), estas c?lulas operam com alta efici?ncia. Outro aspecto que favorece o emprego de SOFC ? a sua habilidade de operar com diferentes combust?veis, como fontes de hidrog?nio.Os materiais a base de CeO2 dopados com terras raras (TR+3) podem ser utilizados como alternativas aos tradicionais anodos de NiO-YSZ. Al?m de maior condutividade i?nica maior e menores perdas ?hmicas, elas podem operar a temperaturas mais baixas (500- 800?C). Na composi??o do anodo, a concentra??o de NiO, atuando como catalisador confere alta condutividade el?trica e alta atividade eletroqu?mica das rea??es, proporcionando a reforma interna do combust?vel na c?lula. Neste trabalho compostos de NiO - Ce1-xEuxO2-δ (x = 0,1; 0,2 e 0,3), foram sintetizados a partir do m?todo dos precursores polim?ricos, Pechini, do m?todo de combust?o e, tamb?m, pelo m?todo hidrotermal assistido por micro-ondas. Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados atrav?s das t?cnicas de TG, DRX, TPR e MEV-FEG. O refinamento dos dados obtidos pela difra??o de raios X indicou que todos os p?s de NiO - Ce1- xEuxO2-δ cristalizaram-se em uma fase c?bica com estrutura fluorita, e tamb?m a presen?a de NiO. Todas as rotas de prepara??o utilizadas mostraram-se eficientes para a produ??o de p?s com caracter?sticas adequadas para aplica??o como anodos de SOFC, por?m o m?todo hidrotermal assistido por micro-ondas apresentou significativa redu??o do tamanho m?dio de gr?os e melhor controle das composi??es das fases
