Uniform magnesium oxysulfate (5Mg(OH) 2 ·MgSO 4 ·3H 2 O) whiskers with a length of 10‐15 µm and a diameter of 0.4‐1.0 µm were synthesized in the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (Na‐SO 3 ‐C 6 H 4 ‐C 12 H 25 ) at 200°C for 1 h, using MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O and NaOH as the reactants. Mg(OH) 2 precursor with poor crystallization and small crystal size was formed owing to the adsorption of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate on the Mg(OH) 2 surface. The quick dissolution of Mg(OH) 2 precursor in the subsequent hydrothermal reaction inhibited the occurrence of the sector‐like byproduct and promoted the formation of magnesium oxysulfate whiskers with uniform morphology.
