利用溶胶-凝胶方法在800℃焙烧10 h后,合成了固溶体Ce1-xNdxO2-δ (x=0.05~0.55),X射线衍射(XRD)测试表明固溶体已经形成立方萤石结构;电子顺磁共振谱(EPR)研究表明在固溶体Ce1-xNdxO2-δ中随着掺杂量x的增大,Ce^3+离子含量减少,说明掺杂Nd^3+离子可以抑制Ce^4+的还原;交流阻抗谱的测量表明固溶体Ce0.9Nd0.1O2-δ具有离子导电特性,600和700 ℃时的电导率分别为4.25×10^-3和1.12×10^-2 S·cm^-1,活化能为0.68 eV.
Solid solutions Ce1-xNdxO2-δ (x=0.05-0.55) were prepared by sintering the gel at 800 ℃ for 10 h by sol-gel method. XRD showed that solid solutions Cel-xNdxO2-δ were crystallized in a cubic fluorite structure. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra suggested that the content of Ce^3+ ions is decreased with the increasing dopant content x in the solid solutions Ce1-xNdxO2-δ, which suggested that doping with lower valence Nd^3+ ions may control the redox of Ce^4+ ions in the solid solutions. The impedance spectra of the solid solutions showed ionic conduction. The conductivities of Ce0.9Ndo.1O2-δ were 4.25 × 10^-3 and 1.12 × 10^-2 S.cm^-1 at 600 and 700 ℃ respectively, and activation energy was 0.82 eV.
