In this study, core–shell Fe@Fe2O3 nanowires with different iron oxide shell thickness were synthesized through tuning water-aging time after the reduction of ferric ions with sodium borohydride without any stirring. We found that these Fe@Fe2O3 nanowires exhibited interesting core–shell structure d...
