Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj148z5cws" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The catalytic activity of α-Fe₂O₃ nanocubes, nanoplates, nanoflakes and nanoparticles for visible light-driven water oxidation is strongly morphology-dependent; α-Fe₂O₃ nanocubes with exposed {012} facets exhibit far higher activity than nanosheets with exposed {001} facets.</p> </abstract>
