Claim:
1. A process for producing an anode material for a solid oxide fuel cell, made of a composite powder comprising a composite oxide containing cerium and at least one of gadolinium and samarium, and oxygen, and an oxide containing nickel and oxygen, which comprises: a dissolving step comprising mixing one or more raw material compounds containing the cerium, at least one of the gadolinium and the samarium, the oxygen, and the oxide containing nickel and oxygen of the composite powder, at least one organic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, lactic acid and malic acid, citric acid, and a solvent to obtain a metal elements-containing solution, and a drying/sintering step comprising drying and sintering the metal elements-containing solution to form the anode material for a solid oxide fuel cell.
