Abstract

In this work, single-phase α-Fe 2O 3 nano-particles were first synthesized via Pechini sol–gel method using citric acid and polyethylene glycol-6000 as chelating agents. The structural coordination of as-prepared polymeric intermediates was investigated by FTIR analysis. Thermal behavior of the polymeric intermediates was studied by TG-DTG-DSC thermograms. The structure of the powders calcined at different temperatures was characterized by XRD and FESEM. The single-phase α-Fe 2O 3 nano-powders with uniform size were prepared when the polymeric intermediate calcined at 600 °C, and the lowest particle size was found to be 30 nm.
