Abstract

Chrysanthemum-like α-FeOOH was synthesized via an environment-friendly H2O/ethylene glycol (EG) cooperating-mediated method. Based on detailed characterizations of the as-obtained hierarchical α-FeOOH nanostructure, the assembly process and possible formation mechanism were clarified. The as-obtained α-FeOOH nanomaterial exhibits a high adsorption performance in water treatment.
