Abstract

We characterize electrical conductivity, microstructure, nano-scale grain boundary structure and chemistry of ceria electrolytes with nominal compositions of Gd0.2Ce0.8O2-? (GDC) and Gd0.11Pr0.04Ce0.85O2-? (GPDC). The electrolytes are fabricated using mixed oxide nanopowders synthesized by spray drying. \AC\ impedance spectroscopy was performed from 150
