Abstrakt: Abstract The effect of the composition and density of ceramics on the electroconductivity of solid electrolytes Ce1 − xGdxO2 − δ(x = 0.09–0.31) with a submicron (0.1–0.3 µm) grain size, which are prepared from nanosized powders, is investigated. The powders are synthesized by two methods, specifically, by evaporation of a target with the aid of the radiation of a pulsed carbon dioxide laser and by a chemical method of burning. The samples of ceramics are prepared by magnetopulsed or quasi-isostatic (200–500 MPa) pressing and subsequent caking in air at a temperature of 1100–1300°C. It is established that the electroconductivity of the obtained solid electrolytes is higher and the effective activation energy for conduction is considerably lower as compared with analogous electrolytes with a micron grain size.
