Abstract
This work shows the inhibition property of the α-FeOOH nanoparticles on the oxidation reactions. The structure of the nanoparticles is confirmed by elemental analysis, FTIR, Mossbauer spectroscopy, TEM, and oxygen titration. We reveal that the α-FeOOH nanoparticles drastically inhibit the benzyl alcohol chain oxidation. The inhibition of the benzyl alcohol oxidation by the α-FeOOH nanoparticles is caused by the reactions between the nanoparticles and peroxyl radicals. Our finding suggests that the α-FeOOH nanoparticles may be used as an effective additive to preserve organic compounds from oxidation. Particularly, we illustrate that the α-FeOOH nanoparticles enhance the storage properties of motor fuel. The inhibition efficiency of the α-FeOOH nanoparticles may result in a variety of new applications of iron-containing nanoscale materials.
