1. A method, comprising:
heating a composition comprising a ferric halide and an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid in hexane at a temperature of 150-300° C. in a sealed container to form ferric oxide microparticles; and
contacting an ammonium salt with the ferric oxide microparticles,
wherein the ferric oxide microparticles have an octahedron morphology,
wherein on the contacting the ammonium salt is decomposed, and
wherein the ammonium salt has a final decomposition temperature of 420° C.
