The nanoparticles were deposited onto porous pure ceria substrates via infiltration- heating processes, and the conductivity was determined with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） using the conductive model for infiltrated phases. The conductivity of the infiltrated doped ceria changes with the doping amount, and Gd0.25Ce0.75O2-δ, Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-δ, and Y0.15Ce0.85O2-δ show the highest values of 2.56, 3.01, and 2.07 × 10-3 S.cm-1 at 600 ℃, respectively. Overall, Sin-doped samples show the highest conductivity, whileY-doped samples show the lowest conductivity.

Compared with the bulk doped ceria, the intrinsic con- ductivity is higher while the activation energy is lower, which may suggest different conduction mechanisms.
