23.5 oxides were synthesized by multi-step solid phase sintering at high temperature, and the crystalline structure, micromorphology and thermophysical properties were investigated. The results show that obtained oxides exhibited single fluorite structure. The microstructure was dense, and the interfaces among grains were very clean. The element composition and the atom ratio were consistent with the chemical formula. The thermal conductivity of the two oxides was obviously lower than that of 7YSZ, and the thermal conductivity of (Yb
