Popis: Nanosized multi-doped ceria with composition Ce0.8Nd0.0025Sm0.0025Gd0.005Dy0.095Y0.095O2-δ (CNSGDY) as perspective solid ionic conductor was obtained by modified glycine-nitrate procedure (MGNP) and room temperature self-propagating reaction (SPRT). The pressed pellets of both powders were sintered at 1550°C for 2 h in an air atmosphere. The obtained sintered samples were characterized by XRPD, Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, EDS and EIS methods. Despite a high temperature of sintering, XRPD and FESEM analyses of the samples confirmed appropriate dimensions of grains with fluorite structure. Overall concentration of introduced dopants (x = 0.2) in the structure of CeO2 after the sintering process was confirmed by EDS analysis. After sintering, Raman spectroscopy confirmed retention of the oxygen vacancies in the ceria lattice, which is in accordance with the improvement of ionic conductivity of solid ionic conductors. The highest value of total conductivity was obtained for the sintered MGNP sample at 700°C (4.22 × 10−2 S cm−1), with the corresponding activation energy of 0.26 eV.
