Abstract

In the recent paper published in Materials (Yang et al., 2019), there is a mistake in the explanation of crystal growth mechanism of the hydrothermal method. The error in this article is discussed in this short communication.

Keywords: growth mechanism; hydrothermal synthesis; solubility variations; supersaturation.
