Well-defined and different morphologic alpha -Fe2O3 particles with a well d
ispersibility have been prepared from Fe(OH)(3) gel via the solvothermal pr
ocess in the presence of n-butylalcohol or dimethylbenzene as medium and ch
aracterized by XRD, TEM, and IR techniques. The effects of the solvents and
reaction conditions on the particle morphology were also discussed. (C) 20
