Synthesis and Characterization of Doped Rare Earth Oxides for Environmentally Benign Nontoxic Reddish-yellow Pigments
Ce10PrxWyOz, where x and Y varied from 0.075 to 0.6 solid solutions of oxides of Ce, Pr, and W have been synthesized by solid-state route with a goal of employing them as environmentally friendly reddish-yellow colorants. Pigments were highly crystalline, chemically stable and could be employed for surface coating.
