Abstract
The present invention provides a scandia-stabilized zirconia powder for solid oxide fuel cells or a scandia-stabilized zirconia sintered body for solid oxide fuel cells, each having high crystal structure stability, low grain-boundary resistivity, and high ionic conductivity; and the production methods of these. The scandia-stabilized zirconia powder for solid oxide fuel cells comprises a compound represented by formula (1): (ZrO)(ScO)(AlO). In formula (1), 0.09≤x≤0.11 and 0.002≤a<0.01 are satisfied. The scandia-stabilized zirconia powder has a rhombohedral phase crystal structure. The sintered body of the scandia-stabilized zirconia powder has a cubic phase crystal structure. The sintered body of the scandia-stabilized zirconia powder has a grain-boundary resistivity of 12 Ω·cm or less at 550° C.
