Abstract
Cations’ valence and size influence mass diffusion and oxygen defects in ceria. Mass diffusion is limited by Gd3+ under oxidative conditions, where Ce4+ is the host cation, while it is unleashed under reducing conditions, where Ce3+ and Gd3+ have the same charge and similar size. Solid solutions with enhanced electrochemical properties are formed under controlled thermo-chemical conditions.
