(ZrO2)0.86(Sm2O3)0.14 and (ZrO2)0.88(Sm2O3)0.12 nano-powders were hydrothermally prepared in basic media by co-precipitation of Zr(OH)4 and Sm(OH)3. Green compacts made with the nano-powders prepared hydrothermally could be sintered to above 98% of theoretical density at 1450 ℃, which was 150 ℃ lower than that (>1600 ℃) used for traditional high-temperature solid state reaction. The results of XRD indicated that both the nano-powders and sinter of (ZrO2)0.86(Sm2O3)0.14 are in a cubic phase, and (ZrO2)0.88(Sm2O3)0.12 nano-powder is in a cubic phase, but its sinter is in a mixed phase of cubic phase and monoclinic phase. The oxygen ion conduction properties of (ZrO2)0.86(Sm2O3)0.14 ceramic were investigated by means of complex impedance, oxygen concentration cell and oxygen pump (electrochemical oxygen permeation) at 600~1000 ℃. The maximal conductivity of the ceramic is 3.2×10-2 S•cm-1 in O2 at 1000 ℃. The conduction in the ceramic is purely oxide-ionic with oxygen ion transference number of 1 over the whole temperature range of 600~1000 ℃. This ceramic is obviously superior to YSZ ceramic in oxygen pump performance.
