AB  - <jats:p>  The mixed-ionic electronic conduction (MIEC) of gadolinium doped ceria (CGO) under reduced oxygen conditions makes it an excellent fuel electrode material for SOFC/SOEC applications. As part of a composite electrode (Ni/CGO), the nickel phase offers a fast electronic conduction pathway to the current collector and may act as an electrocatalyst at the three-phase boundary. Although the Ni/CGO cermet provides superior electrochemical performance compared with older technologies such as Ni/YSZ, the models used to study MIEC materials do not capture the unique transport and kinetic physics which makes them an excellent choice for the next generation of fuel electrodes. Within the framework of multiphase porous electrode theory, this work provides a novel set of differential-algebraic equations which captures the effects of the activation overpotential on electronic defect concentration, electrostatic surface potential and ionic transport to accurately predict the current-voltage behaviour of the Ni/CGO electrode. Moreover, through concerted electron and proton tunnelling events, we unify the theory of the electrostatic surface potential with proton-coupled electron transfer kinetics.    </jats:p>
