Mixtures containing the desired weight ratios of 2 3 -Fe O α and γ-AlOOH were homogenized in the planetary mill, then pressed into tablets and heated up to 1200 °C. All samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Two types of solid solutions of general formula 12 3 -(Al Fe ) O x x α we...

Two series of Fe2O3/TiO2 samples were prepared via impregnation and photodeposition methods. The effect of preparation method on the properties and performance of Fe2O3/TiO2 for photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) under UV light irradiation was examined. The Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposites prepared by impregnation showed lower activity than the unmodified TiO2, mainly...

Wang). ntributed equally Abstract Mesoporous Fe2O3 spherical particles with amorphous or crystalline structure were prepared at different temperatures using aerosol spray pyrolysis. The crystalline Fe2O3 (C-Fe2O3) anodes pyrolysized at 800 1C show better electrochemical performance than the amorphous Fe...

The key to developing highly active α-Fe2O3-based photocatalysts is improve the charge separation and efficiently utilize electrons with sufficient thermodynamic energy. Herein, α-Fe2O3 nanosheets (FO) were synthesized using a metal-ion-intervened hydrothermal method then coupled SnO2 (SO) obtain SO/FO nanocomposites. Subsequently, nanosized Ag was selectively loaded on SO photo-deposition resu...

BACKGROUND Nutrient-containing nanomaterials have been developed as fertilizers to foster plant growth and agricultural yield through root applications. However, if applied through leaves, how these nanomaterials, e.g. γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs), influence the plant growth and health are largely unknown. This study is aimed to assess the effects of foliar-applied γ-Fe2O3 NPs and their ionic co...
