Octadecahedral α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were hydrothermally synthesized in the presence of formamide. These octadecahedral α‐Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles have a threefold axis and are enclosed by twelve dominant {112} facets and six {104} facets. In comparison with the {104} facets, the sterically less hindered {112} facets induced the selective adsorption of formamide more easily, which resulted in the gradual increase in the amount of {112} facets by decreasing the amount of {104} facets with increasing formamide. The coercivity ( H c ) of these octadecahedral particles increased successively as the aspect ratio ( c / a ) increased. The sensing capability of these particles toward H 2 O 2 was investigated, and the response currents of the particles dominated by {112} facets showed a linear relationship with a concentration of H 2 O 2 in the range from 40 μ M to 6.66 m M in different stages.
