title: Controlling phase and morphology of inorganic nanostructures originated from the internal crystal structure.
abstract: Synthesis of inorganic nanostructures designed from the internal crystal structure has been a subject of intensive research in the past decade. By virtue of structural understanding, attention was devoted to novel strategies to control morphology and phase formation of nanostructures, and even their assembly to hierarchitectures. Also, the structural analysis gives an alternative way to understand or predict the potential physicochemical properties of inorganic solids. In this article our recent advances in nanostructure generation and their physicochemical-property understanding from crystal structures are highlighted.
