By calcining different precursors at low temperatures, Fe2O3 nanoparticles with tunable phase, magnetic and photocatalytic properties can be synthesized. Among the samples, gamma-Fe2O3 from Fe(ACAC)(3) demonstrated stronger magnetism and better photocatalytic performance.
By calcining ferric acetylacetonate (Fe(ACAC)(3)), Fe(NO3)(3.9)H2O and FeCl3.6H2O in air at 300 degrees C for 5 h, maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles, hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) nanoparticles and alpha-Fe2O3 nanoflakes were synthesized, respectively. The gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles demonstrated far stronger magnetism (remanent magnetization (Mr) = 9.9 emu/g) than alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (Mr = 0.06 emu/g) and nanoflakes (Mr = 0.13 emu/g) at room tem-perature. For photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) in the presence of visible-light and citric acid, the performance of different Fe2O3 samples was found to be in the order of alpha-Fe2O3 from FeCl3.6H2O > gamma-Fe2O3 from Fe(ACAC)(3) > hydrothermally synthesized alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods > alpha-Fe2O3 from Fe(NO3)(3.9)H2O > hydrothermally synthesized alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. This work reveals the decisive role of precursors in the phase, magnetic and photocatalytic properties of low temperature calcination-synthesized Fe2O3. The phase-tunable synthesis of nano Fe2O3 by low temperature calcination of easily available precursors is simple, cost-effective and practical for large scale industrial production.
