In this study, mesoporous carbon nitride (mp-C3N4) was used as a novel removable template to prepare iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles. Without the template, the formed Fe2O3 has micrometer size, while using the mp-C3N4 template led to the formation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The prepared Fe2O3 na...
