A neoteric round sieve diatomite (De) decorated with sea-urchin-like alpha-type iron trioxide (α-Fe2O3) synthetics was prepared by the hydrothermal method and further calcination. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) parameters of α-Fe2O3-decorated De (α-Fe2O3@D) showed that the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of α-Fe2O3@D could reach −54.2 dB at 11.52 GHz and the matched absorber thickness was 3 mm. The frequency bandwidth corresponding to the microwave RL value below −20 dB was up to 8.24 GHz (9.76–18 GHz). This indicates that α-Fe2O3@D composite can be a lightweight and stable material; because of the low density of De (1.9–2.3 g/cm3), the density of α-Fe2O3@D composite material is lower than that of α-Fe2O3(5.18 g/cm3). We found that the combination of the magnetic loss of sea-urchin-like α-Fe2O3and the dielectric loss of De has the most dominant role in electromagnetic wave absorption and loss. We focused on comparing the absorbing properties before and after the formation of sea-urchin-like α-Fe2O3and explain in detail the effects of the structure and crystal shape of this novel composite on the absorbing properties.Keywords:diatomite;α-Fe2O3;microwave absorption

In this work, a simple one-step hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize high-quality α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with a snowflake-like microstructure. First, a series of binary supramolecular aggregates were prepared by a non-covalent combination between a polymer such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and a complex such as potassium ferrocyanide (PF). Then, the aggregates were used as the precursors of the one-step hydrothermal reactions. The snowflake-like nanostructure has six-fold symmetry as a whole, and each petal is symmetric. This synthesis method has the characteristics of simplicity, rapidity, reliance, and high yield, and can be used for creating high-quality α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Moreover, our results show that the molar ratio of PVP to PF, reaction time and temperature play important roles in the generation of a complete snowflake structure from different angles. Also, the snowflake-like α-Fe2O3 nanostructure exhibits a much higher coercivity (2997 Oe) compared to those reported by others, suggesting a strong hysteresis behaviour, which promises potential applications in memory devices, and other fields. Further, the α-Fe2O3 nanosnowflakes show a much higher photocatalytic degradation activity for cationic organic dyes such as crystal violet, rhodamine 6G than for anionic dyes such as methyl orange. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed for explaining the selectivity of the photocatalytic oxidation reaction of organic dyes. We believe that this study provides a direct link among coordination compounds of transition metals, their supramolecular aggregates with polymers, and controlled hydrothermal synthesis of high-quality inorganic metal oxide nanomaterials.

The design and development of microwave-absorbing materials with excellent performance hold significant importance in both civil and military fields. The combination of magnetic loss materials and dielectric loss materials can achieve complementary performance effects and regulate impedance matching. In this paper, spindle-like α-Fe 2 O 3 was synthesized using MIL-88A as a template, which was then composited with Ti 3 C 2 T x phase possessing excellent electrical conductivity to obtain Fe 2 O 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites. Ti 3 C 2 T x can provide good conductance loss and dipole polarization relaxation, while the incorporation of Fe 2 O 3 between the layers of Ti 3 C 2 T x not only triggers the interfacial polarization effect but also increases layer spacing, thereby enhancing multiple reflection effects. Furthermore, the magnetic-dielectric synergies further optimize the impedance matching. Through the combined action of multiple mechanisms, the Fe 2 O 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x composites (with a mass ratio of 1:3 for Fe 2 O 3 and Ti 3 C 2 T x ) exhibit a minimum reflection loss of −34 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 1.53 GHz at a thickness of 3 mm, as well as an effective absorption bandwidth of 2.805 GHz at a thickness of 1.5 mm. This paper presents a reference strategy for constructing highly efficient microwave absorbers derived from Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXene based on their outstanding properties.

In this paper, smooth α -Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes have been successfully synthesized by electrospinning of ferric nitrate–polyvinyl alcohol solution followed by calcination in air. The morphologies and structures of the samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The catalytic properties were studied by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The results indicated that the as-prepared α -Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes showed a continuous morphology and an extremely high degree of crystallization. The average inner and outer diameters of the obtained α -Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes were about 60 nm and 100 nm, respectively. The obtained α -Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes were able to lower the temperature of the high-temperature thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate, while they had little effect on the crystallographic phase transformation and the low-temperature thermal decomposition.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is of great interest for environmental remediation applications. However, fast recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pair and a low utilization rate of sunlight hinder the commercialization of currently available semiconductor photocatalysts. In this regard, we developed a unique ternary single core-double shell heterostructure that consists of α-Fe2O3@SnO2@Cu2O. This heterostructure exhibits a tube-like morphology possessing broad spectral response for the sunlight due to the combination of narrow bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors forming a p–n heterojunction. To fabricate such a short nanotube (SNT), we used an anion-assisted hydrothermal route for deposition of α-Fe2O3, a seed-mediated deposition strategy for SnO2, and finally an aging process to deposit a Cu2O layer to complete the tube-like ternary α-Fe2O3@SnO2@Cu2O single core-double shell heterostructures. The morphology, composition, and photocatalytic properties of those ternary core–shell–shell heterostructures were characterized by various analytical techniques. These ternary heterostructures exhibited enhanced photocatalytic properties on the photodegradation of the organic dye of Rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight irradiation. The origin of enhanced photocatalytic activity is due to the synergistic effect of broad spectral response by combining narrow bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors and, hence, an efficient charge separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs facilitated through the p–n heterojunction. Furthermore, our unique structure provides an insight on the fabrication and controlled preparation of multilayer heterostructural photocatalysts that have intriguing properties.

Pure and 3 wt% Sm-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes are prepared via a typical electrospinning technology and calcination procedure. The characteristic and morphology of the synthesized nanotubes are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Compared with pure α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes, 3 wt% Sm-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes display enhanced gas-sensing properties. The response of 3 wt% Sm-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes is 33–50 ppm acetone, which is 13 times larger than that of pure α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes. The lowest detection limit of acetone is 500 ppb to which the response is 2.3 at the optimum operating temperature of 240 °C. The response and recovery times are about 6 and 11 s to 50 ppm acetone, respectively. In addition, 3 wt% Sm-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes exhibit good selectivity and long term stability.

Pure and Pr-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes are successfully synthesized via electrospinning and following calcined method. The crystal, morphologies structures and composed of the as-prepared samples are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The researches of the gas sensing properties of the samples show that Pr-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes possess excellent sensitive to ethanol, and the response value of Pr-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes to 10 ppm ethanol is 21.3 at the operating temperature 240 °C, which is much higher than that of pure α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes (1.5). That is to say that the ethanol sensitive of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes is improved remarkably by doping Pr. Moreover, Pr-doped α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes show good selectivity and long-term stability.

An efficient process for the production of levulinate esters from biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol in liquid alcohol over commercial α-Fe2O3 was firstly investigated. Among the catalysts we tested, α-Fe2O3, a cheap, commercially available and environmentally benign catalyst, exhibited a remarkable catalytic performance for the transformation and gives levulinate esters in good yield compared to the previous studies. The corresponding esters such as methyl levulinate, ethyl levulinate and butyl levulinate were obtained in high yields under optimized reaction conditions. Several influence factors for the formation of levulinate esters were also discussed. A plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of levulinate ester from furfuryl alcohol was proposed. From the viewpoint of practice and economy, the present study provides a potential application for the efficient synthesis of fine chemicals from biomass-derived compounds over cheap, commercially available and environmentally benign catalysts.

The photodegradation of benzothiazole (BTH) in wastewater with the coexistence of iron oxides and oxalic acid under UV light irradiation was investigated. Results revealed that an effective heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like system could be set up for BTH abatement in wastewater under UV irradiation without additional H2O2, and 88.1% BTH was removed with the addition of 2.0 mmol l−1 oxalic acid and 0.2 g l−1 α-Fe2O3 using a 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp (365 nm). The degradation of BTH in the photo-Fenton-like system followed the first-order kinetic model. The photoproduction of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in different systems was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Identification of transformation products by using liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution tandem mass spectrometry provided information about six transformation products formed during the photodegradation of BTH. Further insight was obtained by monitoring concentrations of the sulfate ion (SO42−) and nitrate ion (NO3−), which demonstrated that the intermediate products of BTH could be decomposed ultimately. Based on the results, the potential photodegradation pathway of BTH was also proposed.

The structure and surface properties of the sensing materials have been considered as the main factors for the fabrication of metal–oxide semiconductor gas sensors. In this paper, a one-step hydrothermal method for the preparation and control of the morphology of α-Fe 2 O 3 is reported. The results show that the amount of glycol has a great influence on the morphology of the products. With the variation in ethylene glycol concentration (from 30 to 110 ml), we can obviously see the product was assembled into three-dimensional porous α-Fe 2 O 3 micro-flower structure from two-dimensional nanochips from scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures. When the ethylene glycol was 70 ml, the micro-flower structure was the most uniform and perfect. It additionally showed the largest specific surface area (63.69 m 2 /g) and the biggest oxygen vacancy in nitrogen adsorption–desorption and XPS analysis. Further gas sensitivity test showed that gas sensitivity was also the best. Under the low operating temperature (210 °C), the porous α-Fe 2 O 3 micro-flower (70 ml glycol) showed the highest response (49.4) to 100 ppm acetone, the sensitivity of other materials was 8.2/30 ml, 14.7/40 ml, 38.4/50 ml, 36.7/90 ml, 10.3/100 ml, 4.8/110 ml, respectively. In addition, the porous α-Fe 2 O 3 micro-flower (70 ml glycol) has excellent selectivity, short response/recovery time (1 s/31 s), low detection offline (2.2 to 0.2 ppm acetone), and good stability. The reason for the improvement of gas-sensing performance is mainly due to the change of morphology, decrease of crystallite size, the increase of oxygen vacancy, and specific surface area.

With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the removal of nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs) from gasoline fuel has become a more and more important research subject. In this work, we have successfully synthesized TiO 2 /α-Fe 2 O 3 heterogeneous photocatalysts with different mass ratios of TiO 2
vs . α-Fe 2 O 3 . Taking photocatalytic denitrification of typical alkali NCCs, pyridine, in gasoline fuel under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) as the model reaction, the TiO 2 /α-Fe 2 O 3 hybrids have exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with pure TiO 2 and α-Fe 2 O 3 , giving a pyridine removal ratio of ∼ 100% after irradiation for 240 min. The improved photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the integrative effect of the enhanced light absorption intensity and more efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Importantly, this type of heterogeneous photocatalysts can be easily separate in the reaction medium by an external magnetic field that is very important for industrial purpose. In addition, major reaction intermediates have been identified by the liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS) and a tentative photocatalytic denitrification mechanism has been proposed.

The incompetency of conventional single-phase electrode materials remains a stumbling block for making further breakthroughs in high-performance supercapacitors. In this work, α-Fe 2 O 3 nanotube@MnO 2 nanosheet hierarchical networks with tunable mass ratio of MnO 2 to α-Fe 2 O 3 are prepared via a simple two-step method for supercapacitor electrodes. The α-Fe 2 O 3 @MnO 2 core-shell heterostructures, especially the FM10020 containing 60.1 wt% of MnO 2 , exhibit a larger specific capacitance of 289.9 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 , a better rate capability of 40.8% at 5.0 A g −1 and a higher cycling stability of 85.3% after 1200 cycles than the pure MnO 2 , highlighting the advantages of such unique configuration accompanied by the synergistic effect. It is believed that these intriguing results will provide an alternative way for the construction of metal oxide-based composite nanostructures with improved electrochemical performance.
