A microbial‐mineralization‐inspired approach has been used to synthesize iron oxides with controlled oxidation states and crystal phases. The presence of a chelating agent facilitates the control of the oxidation states through a ligand‐controlled approach. The control of the crystal phases is achieved by the tuning of the synthetic conditions, such as the initial pH, the concentration of the chelating agent, and the reaction temperature.
