摘      要：The high purity （Ce0.8Nd0.2O1.9）1-x（MoO3）x（x=0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.020; Ce0.8Nd0.2O1.9=NDC） solid solutions were prepared by modified sol-gel method. The structures and electric conductivities were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, field-emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM） and electrochemical impedance spectros copy（EIS）. The XRD results show that the materials were pure phase with a cubic fluorite structure. Compared to the undoped-NDC samples, MoO3 doped-NDC showed higher sintered density（over 96%） at reduced sintering tempera ture. The electric conductivity（σt） of （Ce0.8Nd0.2O1.9）1-x（MoO3）x at 400 °C was 9.58×10-4 S/cm when x=0.010, which was higher than that of undoped-NDC samples（σt=3.29×10-4 S/cm）. The obtained optimal amount of the MoO3 was x=0.010 in this system.
