The preparation and photocatalytic performance of the Fe2O3/g‐C3N4 nanocomposites with different weight percentage of iron was investigated in this study. Samples were successfully synthesized using melamine and ferric nitrate as the precursors via the green and facile microwave‐assisted method. The...
