Description
Summary:High‐index NiO faceting during molten salt synthesis is investigated with density functional theory by Jeffrey D. Rimer, Matteo Maestri, and co‐workers in their Research Article on page 25391. Trapezohedral NiO particles observed in experiments are shown to form in LiCl and KCl due to locally ordered alkali chloride structures, which act as capping agents during crystal growth. In the absence of salt, octahedral NiO particles are produced because of their stable hydroxylated surfaces.
