“…: +82 51 620 4763; fax: +82 51 622 8452. the investigators have studied for the preparation of ultra fine ceria-based ceramic powders by chemical routes such as coprecipitation and sol-gel process. Recently, it has been reported that Ga 2 O 3 [10][11][12], Al 2 O 3 [13,14], MnO 2 [15], Fe 2 O 3 [16], Co 3 O 4 [17], and CoO [18] are effective sintering aids for the densification of ceria-based ceramics. For Sr 2 Ga 2 O 5 additive, only report available is on Gd 2 O 3 -doped CeO 2 system.…”
