Abstract: A new solid electrolyte series of oxides Ce6-xSmxMoO15-δ(0≤x≤1.2) were synthesized by sol-gel method.The precursors and the resultant oxide powders were characterized by differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry(DTA/TG),X-ray Diffraction(XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS).The formation temperature of the compounds was found to be as low as 400 ℃.Ce6-xSmxMoO15-δ crystallized to fluorite-related cubic structure.The electrical conductivity of samples was investigated by using AC impedance spectroscopy.Impedance spectra analyses show that the grain-boundary resistance of the solid electrolyte prepared by sol-gel method wad reduced or even eliminated.It shows that the presence of Sm is related with the oxygen-ion conductivity.The highest oxygen-ion conductivity is found in Ce6-xSmxMoO15-δ(x=0.8) reaching 6.67×10-3 S/cm at 800 ℃. The Ce6-xSmxMoO15-δionic conductor shows a potential application in the intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs).
