Recent Advances in Nonclassical Crystallization: Fundamentals, Applications, and Challenges

Journal Article · · Crystal Growth and Design

We report crystals are ubiquitous and play an important role in our daily life. Recent studies on properties and formation of crystals have proven the attachment of particle ranging from ion pairs to well-crystallized nanocrystal is one of the most important ways for crystallization. Compared with the monomer-by-monomer (i.e., atoms, ions, or molecules) addition described in longstanding classical theories, so-called nonclassical crystallization pathways are more complex as the non-specific interaction of variation in system free energy and reaction kinetics. In view of the detailed insights into nonclassical crystallization pathways has broadened the scope of research across various disciplines such as geological events, biomineralization mechanisms, environmental remediation, and the development of functional materials, this paper reviews the current state of the art in nonclassical nucleation (the prenucleation clusters pathway, aggregation pathway, etc.) and growth pathways (oriented attachment and random attachment) based on several spotlights. In addition, the observed specific phenomena on crystallization in the last 10 years as well as recent advancements and achievements made on the synthesis of mesocrystals are also elucidated. With implications and perspectives of nonclassical crystallization researches proposed in this paper, this review aims to summarize research advancement regarding crystallizing systems. Emphasis will be placed on novel insights into nonclassical crystallization of materials, which are expected to provide completely new perspectives on the underlying crystallization mechanisms.
