Abstract

Nonclassical crystallization presents its superiority on the formation of crystals with complex structures and morphologies that determine the function of materials. Nonclassical precursors, such as clusters, amorphous phases, and nanoparticles, are the keys to initiate nonclassical crystal growth. In this chapter, we briefly introduce the structural and morphological control of materials by nonclassical precursors. This achievement endows materials with characteristics such as nano-, meso-, or superstructures, high specific area, and heterogeneous junction, extending a variety of functional applications, such as biomedical, mechanical, electrical, and catalysis utilization. In the end, we summarize more potential applications that can be realized by nonclassical crystallization.
