Hydrothermal Preparation of Gd3+-Doped Titanate Nanotubes: Magnetic Properties and Photovoltaic Performance

Pure and Gd3+-doped titanate nanotubes (TNTs) materials were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Their morphology, optical properties, thermal stability, and magnetic properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermal anal...
