Yazarlou Department of chemistry, Faculty of sciences, Gorgan branch, Islamic azad university, Gorgan, Iran Journal Article 2016 03 05 In this pepper Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a fast microwave method. Then Fe2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by a sonochemical-assisted method. The prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The photocatalytic behaviour of Fe2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites was evaluated using the degradation of Rhodamine B under ultra violet irradiation. The results show that nanocomposites have applicable magnetic and photocatalytic performance. https://jns.kashanu.ac.ir/article_13646_86fddbbd669cf46fe84dc291295cf02d.pdf
