The synthesized products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). A systematic change in the chemical surface composition, crystallinity and size properties of the Gd2(CO3)3@PEG particles was observed by increasing the reaction time at 5 hours, 7 hours, and 8 hours. The corresponding XRD patterns showed that the Gd2(CO3)3 particles had hexagonal symmetry (JCPDS No. 37-0559) with a crystallite size of 3.5, 2.9, and 4.6?nm. FTIR spectra showed that the Gd2(CO3)3)@PEG particles were formed with the PEG as carbonyl and hydroxyl group attached to the surface. SEM analysis showed that the Gd2(CO3)3)@PEG particles had a flake-like morphology of homogeneous sized particles and agglomerates. EDS analysis confirmed the presence of constituent Gd2(CO3)3 elements.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Gadolinium carbonate,PEG,solvothermal method.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4941473[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
