Synthesis and Characterization of Hydrothermally Synthesized ɑ‑Fe2O3 Nanostructures with Controlled Morphology

Abstract

Antimicrobial alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal method (HS) at 150 degrees C for 12 h. FeCl3 and urea were used to have alpha-Fe2O3 nanostructures with the help of appropriate amount of surfactants to control the morphology. Stable colloidal suspensions were prepared using synthesized nanoparticles and then 3-D metallic filters were coated using electrophoretic deposition under definite voltage and time. It was shown that the obtained particles were effective to eliminate S. Aureus Bacterias.
