The La-2(Zr1-xCex)(2)O-7 (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0) powders were synthesized by coprecipitation-calcination method. The XRD results indicated that La-2(Zr0.5Ce0.5)(2)O-7 comprised of La2Ce2O7 and La2Zr2O7, whereas single phase La-2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)(2)O-7 with pyrochlore structure was synthesized at 1400 degrees C. The bulk La-2(Zr1-xCex)(2)O-7 (x = 0.3, 0.5, 1.0) were sintered at 1600 degrees C and showed excellent phase stability at 1450 degrees C. The La2Ce2O7 possessed the highest microhardness both in as-sintered state and after heat treatment at 1450 degrees C for different times, followed by La-2(Zr0.5Ce0.5)(2)O-7 and La-2(Zr-0.Ce-7(0.3))(2)O-7. The La-2(Zr0.5Ce0.5)(2)O-7 had the highest fracture toughness of 3.8 +/- 0.2 MPa m(1/2) in as-sintered state, followed by La-2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)(2)O-7 (3.5 +/- 0.2 MPa m(1/2)) and La2Ce2O7 (2.6 +/- 0.3 MPa m(1/2)), which are much higher than that of La2Zr2O7 and 8YSZ. The sudden thermal expansion decrease of La2Ce2O7 was fully suppressed in La-2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)(2)O-7. The La-2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)(2)O-7 also had the lowest sintering rate of 1.13 x 10(-7) s(-1) at 1400 degrees C, as well as the lowest thermal conductivity of 1.06 Wm(-1) K-1 at 900 degrees C.
