Abstract: In this study, an addition of Co and Cu oxides to Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) was studied to improve the SDC sinterability. It has been found that both Co and Cu oxide are very effective as sintering aids, and the SDC sintering temperature can be reduced from 1400°C without aids to below 1000°C with only 1at.% of either Cu or Co. As compared to the pure SDC, a slight decrease of ionic conductivity was observed in SDC with Cu sintering aid. There is no obvious effect on electrochemical property of SDC with Co sintering aid under 2.5at.%.
