Popis: Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via two methods: (1) polyol and (2) precipitation in water. The influence of synthesis methods on the crystalline structure, morphological, optical, magnetic and electrical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, RAMAN spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), superconducting quantum interference device and impedance spectroscopy. The structural properties showed that the obtained hematite α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with two preparation methods exhibit hexagonal phase with high crystallinity and high-phase stability at room temperature. It was found that the average hematite nanoparticle size is estimated to be 36.86 nm for the sample synthesized by precipitation and 54.14 nm for the sample synthesized by polyol. Moreover, the optical properties showed that the band gap energy value of α-Fe2O3 synthesized by precipitation (2.07 eV) was higher than that of α-Fe2O3 synthesized by polyol (1.97 eV) and they showed a red shift to the visible region. Furthermore, the measurements of magnetic properties indicated a magnetization loop typical of ferromagnetic systems at room temperature. Measurements of electrical properties show higher dielectric permittivity (5.64 × 103) and relaxation phenomenon for α-Fe2O3 issued from the precipitation method than the other sample.
