Abstract: Aseries of solid electrolytes Ce1-x Gdx O2-x/2 ( x=0-0.6) was prepared by sol-gelmethod. The structure, thermal expansion coefficient and electrical properties of the solid solutions were systematically studied. XRDdata showed that a complete cubic fluorite structure was formed at 160 ℃. The purity of the product prepared by the sol gel methoDIs higher, the grain size is uniformly smaller. They were easily sintereDInto highly dense ceramic pellets at 1300 ℃. The sintering temperature was significantly lower than that by traditionally high temperature solid phase reaction method. The thermal expansion coefficient of Ce0.8 Gd0.2 O1.9 , determined from high-temperature XRDdata, is 8.125×10-6 K-1 . Impedance spectra analyses showed that the grain boundary resistance of the solid electrolyte prepared by sol-gel method was reduced or even eliminated. The conductivity of Ce0.8 Gd0.2 O1.9 is 5.26×10-3 S/cm at 600 ℃. The activation energy ( Ea) is 0.82 eV.
