In this study, convincing methods have been applied to achieve various phases of gallium oxide (i.e., GaOOH, α-Ga2O3, β-Ga2O3, γ-Ga2O3, δ-Ga2O3, and ε-Ga2O3). X-ray difraction (XRD) along with Rietveld refnement has been employed to investigate the structural parameters of barely reported phases. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images reveal the impact of the protocols of chemical synthesis on the morphology/size of the polymorphs of gallium oxide. Mechanistic discussion on the formation of nano-rod morphology in some of the phases (GaOOH and α-Ga2O3) and nano-particle morphology in other (β-Ga2O3, γ-Ga2O3, δ-Ga2O3 and ε-Ga2O3) phases is also provided by considering the experimental parameters. The existence of Ga3+ ions and their local hybridization with the oxygen is investigated using the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at Ga K-edge and conveyed the phase dependence on the hybridization of frontier orbitals.
