Shape control of inorganic materials viaelectrodeposition

Abstract

Recently developed strategies and conditions to provide rational control of inorganic crystal growth via electrodeposition are presented with a specific focus on the systematic tuning of crystal habit and the regulation of branching growth. Precise morphology control is critical to investigate the effect that a material's morphologies have on physical and chemical properties in a methodical manner. Understanding shape–property relationships is essential for both fundamental understanding and technological application of solid-state materials.
