Synthesis and characterization of praseodymium-doped ceria powders by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MH) route
Abstract
Nanocrystalline Pr-doped ceria powders were prepared for the first time by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route. The effect of the microwave treatment in relation to the conventional hydrothermal technique was evaluated. The samples prepared were characterized in terms of composition, crystalline structure, particle shape and size distribution by
