I am using Ni-SDC anodes for high temperature SOFCs operating on CH4. I intend to explore the degradation mechanisms, specially localized Carbon Formation in cermet structures. XPS/XRD and Raman Spectroscopy can detect that Carbon is present, however, I want to know if there is any material characterization or simulation technique, that can pinpoint exact location (in time and space) of carbon formation region in the fuel anode.

Hi
You could also try if x-ray fluorescence analysis can help you with that question. Its not easy to detect carbon but its possible and it can be more sensitive than xps. Also the information depth is higher.
Many Thanks, Chandra and Phillip for insightful views. Highly appreciated.
More comments are also welcome. Thanks

Many Thanks for sharing the link, however, I do not have access to this paper. If you have then please share.
Highly appreciated
