Abstract: An optimal set of thermodynamic parameters of the ZrO2-CeO1.5 system has been obtained using phase diagram data by modern CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) technique. The liquid and other solid solution phases were regarded as substitutional solution. The ordered ZrO2-CeO2O7 phase was treated as a stoichiometric compound. The ZrO2-CeO2 system has been re-optimized with new reference state. A comparison between the ZrO2-CeO2 system and ZrO2-CeO1.5 system has been made through calculation. With the calculation, the experimental information is well reproduced and a good agreement is obtained.
