The powder of Zr0.92Y0.08O2 (YSZ), Ce0.9Gd0.1O2–δ (GDC) and Sm0.15Ce0.85O2–δ (SDC) compounds from the company Fuel Cell Materials were used for sintering of ceramic samples in air at temperature T = 1673 K. The surface of the prepared ceramics was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results of the performed XPS investigations revealed that cerium exists as Ce3+ and Ce4+ in both the Ce0.9Gd0.1O2–δ and Sm0.15Ce0.85O2–δ ceramics. XPS spectra of O 1s of all the investigated materials demonstrated two peaks corresponding to oxygen O(1) in crystal lattice and to adsorbed oxygen O(2). Measurements of complex impedance, electric conductivity, dielectric permittivity, and tan δ of dielectric losses were carried out in frequency range 106––1.2⋅109 Hz at temperatures ranging from 300 K to 700 K. Relaxation dispersion of the electric parameters has been found for all the compounds. The dispersion is caused by the oxygen vacancy (VO**) transport in grains of the ceramic samples.

Pagamintos Zr0,92Y0,08O2 (YSZ), Ce0,9Gd0,1O2–δ (GDC) ir Sm0,15Ce0,85O2–δ (SDC) junginių keramikos. Keramikų gamybai naudoti firmos „Fuel Cell Materials“ milteliai. Visų junginių keramikos buvo kepinamos 1 h T = 1773 K temperatūroje. Keramikų paviršiai tirti skenuojančiu elektroniniu mikroskopu (SEM) bei Rentgeno spindulių fotoelektroninės spektroskopijos (XPS) metodu. XPS tyrimų rezultatai įgalino patikslinti matuotų junginių elementinę sudėtį. Parodyta, kad SDC bei GDC junginiuose be trivalenčių Ce3+ jonų aptinkami ir keturvalenčiai Ce4+ katijonai. Kompleksinis keramikų laidis, kompleksinė varža, dielektrinė skvarba ir tan δ ištirti 106––1,2⋅109 Hz dažnių ruože ir 300–700 K temperatūrų intervale. Visuose junginiuose aptikta relaksacinė elektrinių parametrų dispersija. Ši dispersija atsiranda dėl deguonies vakansijų (VO**) pernašos kietųjų elektrolitų keramikos kristalituose.
