Hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) is a wastewater pollutant which causes detrimental health effects to the surrounding organisms. Cr (VI) removal by adsorption is commonly applied due to its cost-effectiveness and reusability to reduce this wastewater pollution problem. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is an adsorbent with good Cr (VI) removal properties. To enhance the Cr (VI) removal properties, α-Fe2O3 nanoporousnanorod structure with high surface-to-volume ratio was produced on iron foil substrate. The nanopores and nanorods were produced by anodization and hydrothermal methods, respectively. Both nanopore and nanorod growth were followed by annealing post-treatment.
