“…The exploration of the methods for synthesizing magnetic microcrystals with desired morphology and size has been of scientific and technological interest [7]. Employing various methods, the Fe 3 O 4 with different morphologies have been successfully synthesized, such as spheres [8][9][10][11], octahedrons [12][13][14][15][16][17], cubes [18,7], tetrakaidecahedrons [19], wires [20,21], fractals [22], dendrites [23], hollow structures [24], urchin-like structures [5], nanosheets [1,25], and nanoprisms [26]. However, fine shape control of Fe 3 O 4 microparticles through a simple synthesis process with good size and shape-dependent properties remains a difficult task [27].…”
