  ABSTRACT: Ceria based electrolyte materials are very useful in intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC). The compositions Ce0.85Gd0.15 - xCaxO2 - δ (x = 0.0 - 0.075) were prepared through sol-gel method. Their structure was studied by X-ray diffraction. Dense ceramic Ce0.85Gd0.15 - xCaxO2 - δ samples were prepared by sintering the pellets at 1300°C. The lattice parameter was calculated by Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns. Four probe A.C. impedance spectroscopy was used to study the total ionic conductivity of doped and co-doped ceria ceramics in the temperature range 200°C - 700°C. The Ce0.85Gd0.15 -xCaxO2 -δ composition showed maximum ionic conductivity with less activation energy.
