We have produced novel nanostructures of pure and ceramic α-Fe2O3 using electrospinning, followed by annealing at 500 °C for 5 h with ramp rate of 5 °C min−1. Electron microscopy clearly reveals the novel morphologies, namely nanobraids and nanoporous α-Fe2O3, suggesting that the precursor, (iron(II...
