In this study, the influence of La content on the characteristics of Nb-, Mo-, and W-doped La_xGe₆O_26±δ electrolytes was investigated through sintering study, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and conductivity measurement. The densification of La_xGe_5.5Nb_0.5O_26±δ and La_xGe_5.5W_0.5O_26±δ was retarded as the x reached 9.75, while that of La_xGe_5.5Mo_0.5O_26±δ improved with increasing La content. The average grain size slightly increased and weight loss due to evaporation of GeO₂ significantly reduced with increasing La content, ranging from 1.39% to 0.26%. Among the systems studied, La_9.33Ge_5.5Nb_0.5O_26.245, La_9.33Ge_5.5Mo_0.5O_26.045, and La_9.50Ge_5.5W_0.5O_26.75 electrolytes revealed great potential for use in SOFC applications.
