α-fe2o3 (hematite) is the most stable iron oxide under ambient conditions. this transition metal oxide has been extensively investigated because it has unique electrical and catalytic properties. in this report, a novel microwave method for preparation of α-fe2o3 nanoparticles has been developed. the process contained two steps: first, precursor were obtained from a mixed solution of 50 ml of 0...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...
