The present technology is directed to a solid oxide cell that may be used as a solid oxide fuel cell or a solid oxide electrolyser cell. The solid oxide cell is configured to avoid deformation caused by differential shrinking via incorporation of an oxygen barrier layer which mitigates the damage caused by the introduction of an oxidizing environment in the anode cavity during the operation of the solid oxide cell as a solid oxide fuel cell.

An electrochemical cell includes an electrolyte arranged between a hydrogen electrode and an oxygen electrode.
