An attempt to grow CuI single crystal with decomplexation method modified by concentration programming in silica gel was performed. The results show that decreasing the concentration of feeding solution gradually can yield pure regular single crystals with larger size compared with those of increasing concentration. Replenishing feeding solution every 24 h produces crystals with higher quality than those of every 48 h.

“…supersaturation, temperature, solvent, impurities) factors. The crystallographic forms can be changed profoundly by a slight variation of the external parameters [14]. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on the relation between the morphology and the growth mechanism for CuI single crystal, especially grown in silica gel with decomplexation method.…”

Cuprous iodide crystals have been grown with decomplexation method in silica gel. Various crystal morphologies, such as polycrystalline aggregate, skeletal, dendrite, hopper crystals and regular tetrahedron crystals, were observed in different growth regions with an optical microscope. Their surfaces were photographed using a binocular metallographic microscope and the results were explained with the crystal growth mechanism which was determined by supersaturation. These observations support the general hypothesis that the concentration of reactant affects the relative growth rate by controlling the nucleation and diffusion. The mutual influence of the crystals grown in different regions was also discussed. Additionally, the suitable condition for getting regular tetrahedron crystals or large hopper crystals was obtained by changing the concentration of CuI·HI complex in the later period of crystal growth.
