Summary: In summary, the predictions made in this work are consistent with experimental observations and demonstrate the use of atomistic simulations in predicting the effects of additives in crystal growth technology. Future studies will focus improving interatomic potentials, considering a wider range of additives and incorporate the influence of pH and ionic strength on surface selectivity.
