Solvothermal synthesis of ZnO-decorated α-Fe2O3 nanorods with highly enhanced gas-sensing performance toward n-butanol

This paper reports a newly developed solvothermal strategy for the synthesis of ZnO-decorated α-Fe2O3 nanorods based on the reaction of α-Fe2O3 nanorods with zinc sulfate and urea in autoclaves at 180 °C. The resulting nanocomposites consist of porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods with diameters of 100–200 nm an...
