Facile Synthesis and Characterization of Lanthanum (III) Oxychloride Nanoparticles using a Natural Polymeric Matrix

Plate-shape lanthanum oxychloride nanoparticles (LaOCl-NPs) were synthesized via a facile sol-gel method in gelatin media. The LaOCl-NPs were characterized by a number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Auger electron spectrosco...
