Cerium Tartrate crystals have been successfully grown using the gel method, a novel technique for crystal growth. The crystals were grown in a silica gel medium, and their morphology, structure investigated. Effect of nucleation controlling parameters such as Effect of pH of gel, Gel density , ageing of the gel, Effect of concentration of feed solutions were studied. The results show that the gel method yields Spherulitic cerium tartrate crystals with well-defined morphology. The gel method offers a controlled and slow growth rate, allowing for the formation of Spherulitic crystals. The study demonstrates the potential of the gel method for growing tartrate crystals of lanthanide series elements.
