By tuning the supersaturation during crystal growth, β‐Ag 2 MoO 4 concave and convex crystals have been prepared with high‐index facets and a variety of morphologies, including {100}‐faceted cubes, {310}‐faceted concave cubes, {110}‐faceted octopods, {311}‐faceted trapezohedrons (TPH) and {331}‐faceted trisoctahedrons (TOH). The resulting suite of uniform crystals with well‐defined shapes enabled photocatalytic studies on Ag 2 MoO 4 .
