"Using FeSO4 center dot 7H(2)O and H2O2 as raw materials, a facile route to selective synthesis of alpha-FeOOH and alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods was developed by adjusting the reaction temperature in hydrothermal synthesis," scientists writing in the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology report.
"Without undergoing calcinations, the obtained alpha-FeOOH nanorods (at 150 C) and alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods (at 200 degrees C) possess high morphological yield (>95%). The influences of synthesis conditions such as H2O2, hydrothermal temperature and hydrothermal time were investigated," wrote Y.M. Dong and colleagues, Nanjing University.
The researchers concluded: "The ...
