Abstract
The valence and size of cations influence mass diffusion and oxygen
defects in ceria. Here we show that reduction of Ce4+ to Ce3+, at high
temperatures and low oxygen activity, activates fast diffusion mechanisms
which depend on the aliovalent cation concentration. As a
result, polycrystalline solid solutions with enhanced electrochemical
properties are formed.
