Fabrication and catalytic properties of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles

α -Fe2O3 (hematite) nanoparticles were synthesized by a sonochemical method. They were characterized by XRD and SEM. The catalytic tests were performed in the reaction of methyl phenyl sulfide oxidation. The results exhibit the good catalytic performance of the as-prepared -Fe2O3 nanoparticles.
