Iron oxide, an inorganic compound with formula Fe2O3, is one example. This is the primary iron oxide. The other two are rare ferrousoxide (of FeO) and triiron troxide (of Fe3O4). Iron oxide can also be found naturally in the form of magnetite. Iron oxide can also be called hematite. This is the most important source of iron and it’s susceptible to acid corrosion. Iron oxide is often referred to simply as “rust”. Sometimes, however, it is a good thing because there are many similarities in rust and other components. Hydrated iron oxide is the undefined chemical substance that rust can cause. Fe2O3 comes in many different crystal forms. The iron has an octahedral six-coordinate structure, which is found in the main iron oxides a and. More information about iron oxide pigments
Four types of ironoxide pigments refer to iron oxide. These are iron oxide red (iron yellow), iron black (iron black), and iron brown which are all made from iron oxides. Iron oxide red is the dominant one, accounting roughly for most iron oxide pigments. The iron oxide category also includes mica ironoxid used as an antioxidant and magnetic ironoxid used to record magnetic information. Iron oxide is the 2nd-largest organic pigment, after titanium dioxide. It also has the most colored inorganic colors.
Over 70% of the iron oxide pigments that are consumed worldwide have been produced through chemical synthesis. It is used widely in coatings and building materials because it has a high synthetic purity and is non-toxic. Electronics and tobacco products, as well as medicine, drugs, medical devices, rubber, electronic components, magnet materials, papermaking, and many other areas.

Application and performance of iron oxide
1. Iron and Steel Industry: This is the main application of iron oxide.
2. The surface polishing of extremely fine iron oxide is known as “jewelers rouge”, “red rouge”, and/or rouge. Iron oxide is used in the polishing and final cleaning of lenses and jewelry made from metal. It was also historically used cosmetically. Although iron oxide has a slower cutting speed than modern polishing agents like cerium oxide, it’s still useful in optical manufacturing as well as the jewelry industry because it produces excellent results. Rouge can be used to polish gold. It will slightly alter the final product’s appearance. There are many options for rouge: pastes, powders, solid sticks, or polishing cloths (containing grease or wax binding agents). Even though they don’t contain iron oxide, other polishing products are sometimes called Rouge. To remove residual rouge, jewelers employ ultrasonic cleaning. Many products sold under the name “scraping compound” are used in leather shaving. They can also be used for hair straightening, razor cutting, and any other edge-related tasks.
You can find different colors of iron dioxide in various hydrates. (a = Red, b = Yellow).
3. Iron oxide may be used to make pigments: Iron dioxide is sometimes called “Iron Oxide Brown 6”, “Iron Oxide Brown 7,” and “Iron Oxide Brown 101”. Pigment Red 101 and Pigment Brown 6 have been approved for cosmetic use by the US Food and Drug Administration. As a pigment in dental composites, titanium dioxide and iron oxide are combined.
The iron-air batteries are the world’s best energy storage solution
A rechargeable iron air battery can supply 100 hours of power at a cost that is comparable to traditional power plants. It also costs less than 1% of what lithium-ion batteries. Energy transition will require finding ways to consolidate renewable energies. Because they are able to solve both the high variability and low costs of solar and wind power, long-term cheap and secure batteries that can store energy for long periods of time is the key to renewable energy’s future success.
According to a French financial advisor, the storage cost of lithium-ion large batteries is US$132-245/MWh. However iron-air batteries are only one-tenth as expensive and will provide the best energy storage at a given distance.
This battery’s creators stated that it can be continuously used for many days. They also promise a stable, safe and renewable energy grid all year.
