Jiahui, K. AND R. S. Varma. Expeditious organic–free assembly: morphologically controlled synthesis of iron oxides using microwaves. Nanoscale. RSC Publishing, Cambridge, Uk, 5(18):8675-8679, (2013).

Impact/Purpose:

Submitted for publication in the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) journal, Nanoscale.

Description:

A microwave hydrothermal method is developed for the synthesis of iron oxides, α-Fe2O3, β-FeOOH, and the junction of α-Fe2O3–β-FeOOH. This method is absolutely organic-free, and various structures could be obtained simply by changing the iron source and NaOH. The as-prepared sea urchin-like β-FeOOH exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in the presence of H2O2.
