Iron oxide pillared graphite.
We show that alpha-Fe2O3- and Fe3O4-pillared graphites can be prepared by pillaring graphite oxide with trinuclear iron acetato complex ion and calcining it in air and in vacuo, respectively. A pillared graphite structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy observations. The adsorption isotherms of water indicate that the mesopores of Fe3O4-pillared graphite constitute a hydrophobic nanospace.
