Abstract

This study concerns with the development of a facile method for the biosynthesis of α-Fe2O3 nanorods through green method with an extract from Persea Americana seeds and the potential use of these nanords in the electrochemical applications. The α-Fe2O3 biosynthesized with an extract from Persea Americana seeds thereby was studied by the means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–vis) analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and Cyclic voltammetry.
