property of Ce0. 8Gd0. 2O1. 9 (GDC) are examined. TiO2 addition reduces GDC sintering
temperature by∼ 200° C and considerably improves grain boundary conduction. The
minimum grain boundary resistivity is obtained at 0.8 mol% TiO2 concentration. XRD
analysis suggests that the solubility limit of TiO2 in GDC is∼ 0.6 mol%. The optimum doping
level (0.8 mol%) is slightly higher than the solubility limit (0.6 mol%), which implies that a …
