Microwave Synthesis of γ-Fe2O3

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Fine-particle Fe2O3 is prepared via microwave processing of Fe(NO3)3 · nH2O, followed by low-temperature annealing. The particle size of the resulting γ-Fe2O3 is 5–6 nm after microwave processing and 80–110 nm after subsequent low-temperature heat treatment.
