    Barium cerate (BaCeO<inf>3</inf>) was synthesized using conventional precipitation and ultrasonic-assisted precipitation. The effect of precipitation parameters (precipitation precursor, precipitation agent, agent concentration and temperature) significantly affected %perovskite formation and crystallite size of the product. Precipitation with 1 M (NH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf>C<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf> induced the formation of a single-phase BaCeO<inf>3</inf> while precipitation with 5-20 M NaOH provided a mixed phase of BaCeO<inf>3</inf> and CeO<inf>2</inf>. The %perovskite increased as increasing precipitation temperature; however, the crystallite size of the product also increased. Increasing ultrasonic intensity (30 and 150 W cm<sup>-2</sup>) during precipitation was found to increase the %perovskite and to reduce crystallite size. The precipitation with 1 M (NH<inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf>C<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf> agent, using ultrasonic intensity at 150 W cm<sup>-2</sup>, provided single phase BaCeO<inf>3</inf> with crystallite size of 18.4 nm after calcination at 900 °C for 4 h. The electrochemical performance of the BaCeO<inf>3</inf> cell under steam electrolysis condition (controlled voltage from OCV to 1.5 V; 20% H<inf>2</inf>O, 40% H<inf>2</inf>, and 40% N<inf>2</inf>) was measured (600-800 °C) and the activation energy of conduction was calculated to be 0.78 eV.
