Abstract Direct‐ammonia proton ceramic fuel cell (DA‐PCFC) is a promising clean energy technology because ammonia (NH 3 ) is easier to store, transport, and handle than hydrogen. However, NH 3 decomposition efficiency is unsatisfactory, and the anti‐sintering resistance of conventional Ni‐based ceramic anodes has limited the large‐scale application of DA‐PCFC technology. Herein, Pr 0.6 Sr 0.4 (Co 0.2 Fe 0.8 ) 0.85 Ru 0.15 O 3‐δ (PSCFR15), a novel anode catalyst layer (ACL) material is developed. PSCFR15 is treated under a reducing atmosphere to form a composite with CoFeRu alloy nanoparticles. Density functional theory simulations reveal that Ru modification in the CoFe alloy promotes nitrogen desorption during ammonia decomposition reaction, thereby boosting ammonia decomposition efficiency. As a result, DA‐PCFC with PSCFR15 ACL can achieve superior peak power density compared to bare DA‐PCFC operated with H 2 and NH 3 fuels. Furthermore, the ACL also reduces the direct contact between the Ni‐based ceramic anode and the NH 3 fuel, then suppressing Ni sintering, and enhancing the durability of the DA‐PCFC.
