Fe2O3 microboxes with hierarchically structured shells have been synthesized simply by annealing Prussian blue (PB) microcubes. By utilizing simultaneous oxidative decomposition of PB microcubes and crystal growth of iron oxide shells, we have demonstrated a scalable synthesis of anisotropic hollow...
