The concentration and pKa value of the alcohols both play important roles in determining the size and shape of the SrTiO3 polyhedral submicro]nanocrystals. The adsorption energy of alcohol molecules on SrTiO3 [110] facets depends on their pKa values, which are therefore critical for morphology control. Using the same strategy, a series of BaTiO3 polyhedral submicro/nanocrystals with systematic morphology evolution have also been successfully prepared.展开更多
