Abstract
The morphology control of AlPO4-5 crystals was achieved by microwave irradiation in mixed-sol vents system. The results show that the aspect ratio of the AlPO4-5 (c/a) crystals decreases significantly with the increase of the volume ratio of EG to H2O. Interestingly, the dumbbell shaped AlPO4-5 crystals can be obtained when the volume ratio of n-butanol to H2O reaches to 5:1 in the mixed-solvents of n-butanol and H2O. With the addition of the crystal seeds, the size of the AlPO4-5 crystals decreases with the increase of the amount of crystal seeds and the stirring time.
