Size and shape tailored sol-gel synthesis and characterization of lanthanum phosphate (LaPO4) nanoparticles

TLDR
In this article, the effect of reactant concentration on the shape and size of nanoparticles was investigated, and it was observed that by reducing the reactant concentrations from high (100m3) to very low (0.125m3), nanoparticles gradually changed from long nanorods to nanospheres.
