    Synthesis of α- and β-FeOOH iron oxide nanoparticles in non-ionic surfactant medium

    Forced hydrolysis of Fe(III) ions in acidic media was performed under controlled synthetic conditions to produce α- and β-FeOOH iron oxides. The forced hydrolysis synthesis was carried out, separately, in an a...
