Making Iron Oxide through cheap electrolysis

Making Iron Oxide through cheap electrolysis
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) can easily be made through electrolysis. The basic idea is to pass a current through water with iron electrodes. The water splits into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen then binds to the iron electrode, turning the Fe2+ into the iron oxide. This method produces very red iron oxide,…
