Organic additive-assisted growth of quaternary PbX(OH) (X=Cl, Br, I) polygonal tubular crystals via ethanol thermal process
Millimeter-scaled polygonal tubular crystals of PbX(OH) (X Cl, Br, 1) are successfully grown in ethanol system with the aid of polyoxyethylene tert-octylphenyl ether (Triton X-100). The results demonstrate that the suitable organic additive favors the growth of tubular crystals.
