α-Fe2O3 nanochains: ammonium acetate-based ionothermal synthesis and ultrasensitive sensors for low-ppm-level H2S gas

Nanoscale. 2013 Feb 7;5(3):895-8. doi: 10.1039/c2nr33201a. Epub 2012 Dec 17.

Abstract

α-Fe(2)O(3) nanochains have been successfully synthesized via an ammonium acetate-based ionothermal synthetic route. When detecting low-ppm-level H(2)S gas, the nanochain sensor displayes high sensitivity due to its unique structure and smaller size.
