Shape-controlled synthesis of CuI Sub-microcrystalline under Solvothermal Condition

The octahedral CuI microcrystals were synthesized in mixed solvent of water and ethanol at 180 °C for 20 h under solvothermal condition. The compared experiments were also carried out under various condition, and the optimum process was fixed. The results show that the suitable ripening process is helpful for growth of octahedral CuI microcrystals. The morphology of CuI microcrystals is mainly effected by polarity of solvent in these systems, and the growth mechanism of CuI microcrystals are also discussed.
