CRYSTENGCOMMSummary:
An etching-limited branching growthmechanism has been elucidated during ethanol-assisted solution synthesis of octahedral Cu2O crystals, which is different from the conventional diffusion-limited aggregate and recent overpotential-limited branching mechanism. It provides an innovative approach for revealing the shape evolution from habit formation (octahedron) to branching growth (hexapodlike architecture) via adjusting the competition between preferential growth and selective oxidative etching, and displays a constructive model system for fundamental research of crystal growth and design.Co-author:
