Green Synthesis of Hexagonal Hematite (α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) Flakes Using Pluronic F127-Gelatin Template for Adsorption and Photodegradation of Ibuprofen

Hematite (α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) with uniform hexagonal flake morphology has been successfully synthesized using a combination of gelatin as natural template with F127 via hydrothermal method. The resulting hematite was investigated as adsorbent and photocatalyst for...
