Scandia and ceria doped zirconia samples, with 10 mol% Sc2O3and different content of CeO2, were synthesized and characterized. The XRD results depict that the sintered samples have a cubic phase structure. However, Raman spectra show that besides the main cubic phase, a secondary phase is also present in the sintered samples. The addition of CeO2can raise the content of the cubic phase, but the minor meta-stable tetragonal phase (t′-phase) exists even at the CeO2content as high as 10 mol%. The near-UV Raman spectra indicate that the deformed tetragonal structure predominates at the grain boundary. The addition of CeO2can reduce the impurity at grain boundary, and no impurity can be found by near-UV Raman spectroscopy at the grain boundary of the samples with high CeO2content. The impedance measurements show that with the increase of CeO2content, the impedance of grain boundary decreases and the bulk impedance increases. The low impedance of grain boundary can be attributed to the formation of a clean grain boundary upon CeO2doping, and the increase of the bulk impedance is due to the blocking effect of the large Ce(IV) ions.
