RT Journal Article A1 Timur Sh. ATABAEV; AD T1 Facile hydrothermal synthesis of flower-like hematite microstructure with high photocatalytic properties YR 2015 IS 1 vo 4 OP 61-OP 64 K1 nanostructure;hydrothermal synthesis;hematite AB A flower-like hematite microstructure has been successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method without using any organic solvents or templates. It is revealed that the flower-like hematite microstructure consists of well-crystallized nanorods with the average diameter of about 100±15 nm and average length of about 900±100 nm growing from the centers. A possible growth mechanism of the flower-like α-Fe2O3 microstructure is proposed and discussed. The photocatalytic properties of the synthesized flower-like hematite nanostructure are evaluated using the degradation of rhodamine B in aqueous solution. SN 2226-4108 LA EN
