Based on the theoretical model of anion coordination polyhedron growth units, the growth mechanism of the basic magnesium chloride whisker was discussed in this paper. It was found that the basic magnesium chloride whisker habits were related to the different environments in which anion coordination polyhedra grew. The growth units of basic magnesium chloride whiskers are 2 4 [Mg (OH) ] and 2 4 [Mg Cl ] . The growth process is the incorporation process of growth units. Growth units will have different incorporations and orientations caused by different system characters or heating. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of basic magnesium chloride whiskers was also interpreted using anion coordination polyhedron growth units.anion coordination polyhedra, basic magnesium chloride, whisker, growth mechanism, crystal morphology Citation: Wu J S, Xiao Y K, Su J Y, et al.
