An electron microscopy study of b-FeOOH (akaganeite) nanorods and nanotubes

High-resolution TEM images reveal that samples of b-FeOOH (akaganeite) prepared by quenching of a condensed ferrihydrite gel contain a mixture of rod-like particles and tubes. The tubular particles are usually about 10-15 nm in diameter with a central void that is typically 1/3 of the particle diame...
