Abstract

By using simple mixed solvents, the morphologies of hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles could be manipulated, and the spherical, mulberry-like, nanospherical and top-like products could be controllably obtained. The as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results indicated that the morphology manipulation could be achieved by systematically adjusting the polarity of the mixed solvent via the ratio control. And the magnetic properties of the products were critically affected by their grain size and assembly morphologies.
