Synthesis and characterisation of nanostructured ferric oxide

Since iron oxides have diverse physical and structural properties, it contributes to natural processing and its uses are uncountable. The structural and size dependent activities are the main characteristics which are to be defined for assessing its role. The different phases of iron oxide such as hematite, maghemite and magnetite are summarized. The article includes the synthesis and characterization of nano-ferric oxide which are at the core of nanotechnology due to their specific properties and applications. The characterization is carried out by x-ray diffraction, FE-SEM and UV/Visible spectroscopy. The aim of the characterization techniques is to define the structural, optical and morphological parameters. The structural analysis of the nanoparticle is identified by powder X-ray diffraction and the optical and topographical parameters are stated by FE-SEM and UV/Visible spectroscopy correspondingly. The preparation of ferric oxides from ferricyanide and ferro cyanide is represented where the results are comparatively discussed with the help of flowchart.
