One dimensional Gd(OH)3 nanorods and nanotubes were successfully produced through a microwave-assisted hydrothermal process of Gd(NO 3)3 solutions at pH 10, adjusted using 3 M NaOH and NH4OH as buffer solutions. Subsequently, the Gd(OH)3 nanorods and nanotubes, functioned as both the precursors and...
