Single crystal α-Fe2O3 nanotube was synthesised via refluxing in the organic solvent of n-butylalcohol that employed Fe(OH)3 sol as precursor without any surfactant and dispersant. Then the final products were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), transmi...
