Abstract: The pure Ce1-xNdxO2-x/2(x=0.10, 0.15) solid solutions were synthesized via citric-nitrate method and the effects of 5%(molar fraction) Mo-dopant on the sintering temperature and grain boundary conductivities of the Ce1-xNdxO2-x/2(x=0.10, 0.15) were discussed. Their structures and ionic conductivities were characterized via X-ray Diffraction(XRD), Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP), field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results show that the precurors synthesized via citric-nitrate method have a good sinterability with relative density of >96% after being sintered at 1450 ℃ for 24 h. With Mo-dopant, the relative density of >95% was reached after being sintered at 1250 ℃ for 8 h and the grain boundary conductivity increased greatly because of the increase of grain size. The grain boundary conductivty at 600 ℃ for Ce0.85Nd0.15O1.925 increased from 2.56 S/m to 5.62 S/m with Mo-dopant.
