Abstract
Monodispersed aluminum-substituted hematite particles were synthesized from concentrated mixed solutions of FeCl 3 and AlCl 3 using the gel-sol process. With increasing aluminum content (Al/(Fe + Al)) in the starting solutions, hematite particles became more and more elongated. The product particles exhibited ellipsoidal, rod- and peanut-like shapes, depending on Al concentration. Higher Al content (>20 mol%) in the system greatly suppressed the formation of hematite. Atomic emission spectrometry analysis and lattice parameter measurement confirmed the substitution of Al in hematite particles. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
