synthesis. The incorporation of Gd 3+ ions into Bi 2 WO 6 crystallite was analyzed by X-ray
diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
The optical properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis absorption and
photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticleswas
investigated by degradation of Rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation. Our results …
