The structural and morphological properties of the products were characterized and confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface analyzer, respectively. Thermal behaviors were also investigated by TG/DT analyses. The optimal condition was set at 500 °C in a few minutes, giving pure iron orthophosphate with a good level of crystallinity and 11,769 m{sup 2}/g surface area. The results proved SCS a time saving and practically applicable method.
