The present study confronts instantaneous and consistent phase transformation of Hydroxyapatite (HAP) to cerium substituted Hydroxyapatite (Ce-HAP) nanoparticles using the sol-gel method. Ce3+ ions at varying concentrations from 0.01 - 0.1 M were substituted in HAP structure and analyzed using spect...
