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...

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.

Hexagonal flake-like hematite was obtained following calcination at 500 °C with the average size was measured at 1–3 µm. Increasing the calcination temperature to 700 °C transformed the uniform hexagonal structure into cubic shape morphology. Hematite also showed high thermal stability with increasing the calcination temperatures; however, the surface area was reduced from 47 m<sup>2</sup>/g to 9 m<sup>2</sup>/g. FTIR analysis further confirmed the formation Fe-O-Fe bonds, and the main constituent elements of Fe and O were observed in EDX analysis for all samples. α-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> samples have an average adsorption capacity of 55–25.5 mg/g at 12–22% of removal efficiency when used as adsorbent for ibuprofen.
