In this study, gadolinium doped ceria electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cell application were developed based on the physiochemical properties of the powders. 20GDC nano powder with average particle size of 30nm and purity >99.99% was procured from Cottor International, Mumbai, India. The specific surface area of pure GDC was determined using Quantachrom Nova 1000e surface area analyzer in the presence of nitrogen gas. Average particle size of 20GDC powder has been calculated by using Transition Electron Microscope (TEM) and it is found to be around 30nm.
