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.展开更多

The structure andmorphology of the products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Amorphous TiO2 nanoparticles with diametersof ten to several tens nanometer were formed on the surface of a-Fe203 nanoparticles and the coverage density of thesecondary TiO2 nanoparticles in the composite can be controlled by varying the concentration of Ti（BuO）4 m theethanol solution. The visible-light photocatalytic properties of different products towards Rhodamine B（RhB） wereinvestigated. The results show that the a-Fe203/amorphous TiO2 exhibits a good photocatalytic property owing to theextension of the light response range to visible light and the efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holesbetween a-Fe203 and amorphous TiO2.展开更多

The bio-template method combining with electrochemical deposition was employed to synthesize spirulina/hematite composite microstructures using native spirulina as template. A great amount of hematite（a-Fe2O3） nanoparticles can be formed and deposited onto the spirulina, resulting in a robust and pseudo-homogeneous surface. And the spinth- na/a-Fe2O3 composite exhibits an improved surface wettability due to its helical morphology. This facile strategy may open new horizons in the field of replicating specific biological structures for functional materials in other potential applications.展开更多
