9−δ (LSMN,
x=0.1~0.6)were prepared by solid state method using lanthanum oxide, samarium oxide and molybdenum oxide as raw materials solid electrolyte. The crystal structure and ionic conductivity of LSMN were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the grain size of LSMN is between 51.6 nm and 199.3 nm. After calcining at 700 ℃ for 8 h, the ultrafine powder with cubic structure can be successfully prepared, and the powder has high sintering activity. After sintering at 1100 ℃ for 10 h, the grains of the sintered body are tightly bound, the grain boundaries are clear, and the relative density is above 96%. The electrical performance analysis shows that the doping of Nd
3+ ions can significantly improve the ion conductivity of LSMN; La
