Abstract: Doped ceria pellets with the composition Ce0.8Gd0.2-xPrxO2-δ with x = 0.15, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.03 were investigated with a special focus on the partial conductivities in the temperature range of 200–600°C. Temperature dependent conductivity provided by impedance spectroscopy in air was compared to measurements of the oxygen partial pressure dependent electronic conductivity. The electronic conductivity was analyzed down to 200°C by using a modified Hebb-Wagner setup with encapsulated Pt microcontacts. A small polaron hopping process introduced by reduction of praseodymium was found to have a pronounced influence on the electronic conductivity at low temperatures. A splitting of the maximum introduced by praseodymium small polaron hopping was observed. Especially for the compositions x ≤ 0.1, a strong deviation of the electronic conductivity curves from the standard acceptor doping case was measured due to superimposed electronic conductivity from the Pr3+/4+ redox reaction.
