Abstract
α-FeOOH nanorods have been prepared at room temperature by an environment-friendly microemulsion approach. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the single-crystalline orthorhombic α-FeOOH nanorods are 8.2 ± 1.5 nm in diameter and 106 ± 16 nm in length. Furthermore, the mechanism for the formation of α-FeOOH nanorods is preliminarily presented. This method may be widely used for reference to fabricate other inorganic one-dimensional nanostructured materials and easily realized in industrial-scale synthesis.
