Abstract As a high-efficiency energy conversion device, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has attracted widely attention due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness and fuel flexibility. As the critical part of SOFC, the performance of electrolyte directly determines the performance of SOFC. The electrolyte material commonly used in SOFC is partially yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), but due to its high operating temperature (about 1 000 ℃), it brings difficulties in electrode material selection, sealing and so on. Therefore, the development of electrolytes suitable for low and intermediate temperature is essential to promote the commercialization of SOFC. The conductivity of single element-doped ceria electrolyte is higher than that of YSZ at low and intermediate temperatures. However, the disadvantages of CeO2-based electrolytes are that they exhibit electronic conduction due to reduction of Ce4+ to Ce3+ at lower oxygen partial pressures environments as well as the decrease of total conductivity due to the high grain boundary resistance at low and medium temperatures. Many factors affect the conductivity of CeO2-based electrolytes, such as the preparation method of the powder, the microscopic morphology of the sintered body, and the type and concentration of dopants. Among them, the more important factors are the type of doping elements and its concentration, the preparation method of the powder. Inview of the above problems, researchers generally believe that co-doped or multi-doped (especially doping with rare earth elements) ceria which compared with single element-doping is more beneficial to improve the ionic conductivity of CeO2-based electrolytes and inhibit electronic conductivity. In addition to element doping, ceria-based electrolytes composited with different carbonates have also attracted the interest of researchers. In terms of preparation methods, different powder preparation methods such as microwave sintering, polyols method, and electrostatic spinning can also be used to obtain electrolytes with high ionic conductivity. In addition, thinning the electrolyte to a film and depositing a layer membrane on the CeO2-based electrolyte substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) can reduce electronic conductivity and improve conductivity. In this paper, based on the research status of CeO2-based electrolyte in recent years, the influence of element doping, the preparation method of powder and electrolyte film on the electrical properties of CeO2-based electrolyte is briefly described, and its development is prospected.
