In this study, Fe doped barium aluminate nano powder has been synthesized via homogeneous precipitation method and was investigated for its activity on the epoxidation chalcone with hydrogen peroxide as a pure oxidant. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The average particle size of the powder was determined to be 37 nm by FE-SEM.
