Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is among one of the potential n-type metal oxide semiconductors that able to absorb wide range of visible spectrum and thus makes it a particularly attractive material to be used in solar energy conversion. In this work, facile hydrothermal approach was adapted to synthesis hybrid...
