摘要
Iron oxide nanocrystals (IONCs) with various geometric morphologies show excellent physical and chemical properties and have received extensive attention in recent years. The various shape-induced magnetic and electrochemical properties of the IONCs make them suitable for diverse applications. Understanding the correlation between the physicochemical properties and morphology of IONCs is a prerequisite for their widespread applications. Hence, this review focuses on current research progress regarding shape-controlled IONCs in different dimensions, and the corresponding shape-dependent magnetic, catalytic and gas-sensor properties are discussed. Furthermore, the general preparation methods, shape-guided growth mechanisms and energy conversion applications in photoelectrochemical water splitting, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) of these IONCs (alpha-Fe2O3, gamma-Fe2O3, Fe3O4) are also discussed. Finally, the perspectives of IONCs in promising research directions are proposed.
