In this study, we introduce a simple and effective seed‐mediated growth method ( SMGM ) for the controlled synthesis of boron suboxide powder. By employing starting powders with different concentrations and adding boron suboxide seeds with a star‐like morphology, we demonstrate that B 6 O ceramics that exhibit high‐level crystallinity can be synthesized using SMGM at ambient pressure conditions. The formation of multilayered star‐shaped B 6 O particles via SMGM is reported for the first time.
