Popis: Magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (α-Fe2O3) iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method via subsequent heat treatment using ferrous chloride (FeCl2.4H2O) as a source of iron. The synthesized powder was annealed at high temperature in an air atmosphere to promote the formation of the hematite (α-Fe2O3) phase. Both oxide phases of iron oxide were characterized using x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, and differential scanning calorimetric analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. The phases of as-synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by XRD and Raman studies. The thermal behavior and weight loss of the initial powdered Fe3O4 to α-Fe2O3 was studied using TG-DSC analysis. In the present case, the Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were used for the electrochemical sensing of acetaminophen (C6H9NO2). The sensing of acetaminophen was performed by Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3 modified glassy carbon electrode, using a potential controlled cyclic voltammetric technique. The Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibited electrocatalytic ability for sensing acetaminophen. Detailed results are included.
