Figure 5: (a) SEM images of a nanosystem of the uniform α-Fe2O3 microparticles synthesized by modified polyol methods in our breakthroughs of synthesis processes (Sample 3). The α-Fe2O3 oxide microparticles with the certain size range of 1-5 μm, and sharp polyhedral-like shape and morphology.
(b) Orthorhombic model with large surfaces of (101).
(c)-(d) TEM image of orthorhombic particle.
Scale bar: (a) 10 μm; (c)-(d) 1 μm [83]. © 2014 Springer. All rights reserved. N. V. Long, Y. Yang, C. M. Thi, B. T. Hang, Y. Cao, M.
