{alpha}-FeOOH nanorods have been prepared at room temperature by an environment-friendly microemulsion approach. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the single-crystalline orthorhombic {alpha}-FeOOH nanorods are 8.2 {+-} 1.5 nm in diameter and 106 {+-} 16 nm in length. Furthermore, the mechanism for the formation of {alpha}-FeOOH nanorods is preliminarily presented. This method may be widely used for reference to fabricate other inorganic one-dimensional nanostructured materials and easily realized in industrial-scale synthesis.
