Abstract:W 1−x Gd x O 3 ceramics with (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10) were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route. The XRD and Raman spectra revealed the monoclinic phase (most stable) formation and successful incorporation of Gd ions into the WO 3 lattice. The scanning electron microscopy images displayed the presence of densely arranged grains with clearly visible grain boundaries. The EDX spectra show that the components are present in the desired stochiometric ratios. This study aims to elucidate the impact of d… Show more
