A　comprehensive　review　on　the　powder　preparation,　shaping　and　sintering,　effects　of　stabilizer　and　codoping,　aging　of　the　conductivity,　mechanical　properties,　compatibility　with　respect　to　electrode　materials,　preparation　of　thin　film　electrolytes　and　future　development　trends　for　zirconia-based　solid　electrolytes　was　given　in　this　paper.　Since　zirconia-based　solid　electrolytes　demand　higher　operating　temperature,　the　preparation　technology　of　thin　film　electrolytes　and　its　effects　on　the　properties　of　the　solid　oxide　fuel　cell　will　be　the　main　research　contents　in　the　future.　In　addition,　the　sintering　properties,　mechanical　properties　and　high-temperature　aging　resistant　properties　for　zirconia-based　solid　electrolytes　should　also　be　further　improved.
