Figure S1: X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the iron oxide nanospheres sample. X-ray Powder diffraction (XRPD) was measured on a conventional in-house powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation. Rietveld refinement yields cubic lattice parameters of 8.362(2) Å for the nanospheres and 8.348(1) Å for the nanocubes, which are both close to the cubic spinel lattice parameter of maghemite. The r...

Hierarchical porous iron oxide films with different morphologies have for the first time been fabricated through hydrothermal reactions between an iron substrate and iodine powder in water or ethanol, which can be explained by a mechanism analogous to the Kirkendall effect.

In this work, we report on the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, CTAB as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. Surface modification have been carried out by using poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG). The structure,morphology, and magnetic properties of the products were characteriz...

Our study focuses on the structural evolution of MCM-41-supported iron oxide under the reducing environment of catalyst pretreatment and ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the iron oxide is well-dispersed on the surface of the support with no detectable diffraction peaks from iron oxide. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) study i...

The synthesis of iron oxide nano-particles by direct thermal decomposition was studied. Simultaneous thermal analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the formation of iron-urea complex, and disclosed iron oxide formation mechanism. Calcination of the iron-urea complex at 200°C and 250°C for 2 hrs. resulted in the formation of maghemite along with hematite as a seco...

in this work, we report synthesis of surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spion) by co-precipitation method using feso4.7h2o and fe2(so4)3.5h2o as precursors and trisodium citrate dihydrate as surfactant. surface modification of the as prepared samples was performed in pot by sol-gel precipitation method using tetraethoxysilane (teos). the structure, morphology, and magn...

To the Editor, Pica refers to an abnormal appetite for non-edible substances usually occurring in children with developmental disability or brain injury. However, it can also occur during adulthood, as it is associated with iron deficiency. Pica requires medical attention in case of severe eating behaviour that can be potentially harmful. Here we present a case of craving for Johnson's ® baby t...

the reduction of fe2o3 powder at the top layer by the volatiles from high volatile (hv) bituminous coalat the bottom layer of a multilayer powder geometry including a separating alumina layer was studied.the simultaneous effects of the alumina layer thickness, time, temperature and the weight of coal onthe amount of reduction and coal devolatilization were studied by implementing a rotatable ce...
