Abstract Producing electrolytes with high ionic conductivity has been a critical challenge in the progressive development of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) for practical applications. The conventional methodology uses ion doping method to develop electrolyte materials, e.g., samarium-doped ceria (SDC) and yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), but challenges remain. In present work, we introduce logical design non-stoichiometric CeO 2-δ based on non-doped focus surface properties particles. 2−δ...
