Formation of hierarchical structures of Fe2O3 by the liquid–liquid interface technique

Abstract

We report the formation of dendritic hierarchical structures of α-Fe2O3 and nanostructures of Fe2O3 by the simple liquid–liquid interface method. The morphology of thin films determined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy shows nanorods, nanosheets and dendritic Fe2O3. The identification of phases of iron oxide structures is carried out by using XRD and XPS studies. XRD and XPS measurements point out the highly crystalline dendritic α-Fe2O3 phase and the mixed phase of α- and γ-Fe2O3 nanostructures. The magnetic measurement also suggests the presence of a mixed phase in the sample grown for 72 hours.
