In the present investigation, microwaves have been used in two step solvothermal and combustion method for the synthesis of iron oxide (-Fe2O3) nanostructures. The structural examination reveals formation of hematite phase of iron oxide. Morphological analysis shows formation of sheet and rod-like morphologies depending on reaction conditions. Owing to such morphologies enabling relatively large surface to volume ratio, these nanostructures can find useful applications in supercapacitors, photocatalysis and sensors.", }
