α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a sonochemical method in FeCl3-NH3 complex solution.The obtained sample was examined and investigated by XRD,TEM,FT-IR,FT-Raman and XPS techniques.The results showed that the spherical,well-dispersed α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were obtained with the average size of 15nm.The possible formation mechanism of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were also discussed,which indicated that this for the preparation of the nanoparticles method can be used for α-Fe2O3 preparation with some practical and universal significance.
Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanopowder was synthesized from 0.1 mol·L-1 FeCl3 solution by sonochemical hydrolysis method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micrograph (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the spherical, well-dispersed α-Fe2O3 nanopowder was obtained with the average size of 20 nm. The possible mechanism for the formation of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticals was also discussed.
