The Growth and Characterization of KH2PO4 and CuSO4·5H2O Crystals with Large Sizes for Undergraduate Education (Journal Article) USA :American Chemical Society August 2023 3070-3075 P. American Chemical Society, Volume 100, Issue 8 ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Abstract Crystal materials are an important pillar of advanced technology. Among them, the preparation of large-sized single crystal materials is of great importance for their practical application. Herein, we select the well-known nonlinear optical crystal KH2PO4 and impressive deep-blue colored crystal CuSO4·5H2O to design an integrated experiment on the growth of large-size single crystals. This experiment, which aims to introduce the basic concepts and techniques of crystal growth and characterization, was designed for undergraduate majors in chemistry and materials science. To deepen the understanding of the complicated theoretical knowledge and cultivate their interests in crystal growth, students prepared large-scaled crystals and then characterized and investigated the structures, morphologies, and properties of KH2PO4 and CuSO4·5H2O. The common analytical methods involved in this lab course will help students to enhance their practical ability and thinking ability as well as initially cultivate their scientific research thoughts in the crystal material field.
