“…The stability of polyhedral crystals growing in solution has been considered by Cahn (29) and Chernov (30). Cahn took as his stability condition the requirement that the supersaturation should not vanish in the center of a face and provided theoretical justification for the well-established observation (31)(32)(33) that the stable linear growth rate must decrease as the crystal size increases. Chernov (30) proposed that the supersaturation inhomogeneity is compensated by the development of vicinal faces.…”

Crystals normally grow in solution in a destabilizing supersaturation gradient. The observation of inclusion-free growth to large crystal sizes may be described in terms of a metastable region of the supersaturation gradient which is associated with the mechanism of growth on the habit faces. Stirring has a beneficial effect on growth stability especially by reducing or removing the supersaturation inhomogeneity across the face of a polyhedral crystal. The effect of convection and of various stirring techniques is briefly described.

Hopper shape is a special type of crystal morphology. Hopper‐shaped crystals possess unique properties and show promise in many different applications. The understanding of how the building blocks (atoms, ions, and molecules) assemble into hopper‐shaped crystals and how the environmental factors influence the assembly process is critical to the properties and applications of hopper‐shaped crystals. In this review, the important interfacial instability theories that outline the underlying mechanisms for the formation of hopper‐shaped crystals are discussed. Next, the relevant experimental developments based on three categories of synthetic approaches are discussed: the growth through the control of the solute concentration, the temperature gradient, and the capping agent. At the end of the review, the applications, opportunities, and potential challenges of the hopper‐shaped crystals are discussed.
