Abstract In the synthesis of InPO 4 crystals, using F127 [(EO) 106 (PO) 70 (EO) 106 ] as a structure‐directing template, a morphology tunable progress was observed during the crystal evolution. By verifying the initial pH from 1.0 to 12.0, the morphology is evolved from single crystal, through sub‐micro crystallites, and finally to crystalline nanoparticles. The most influential factors in the morphology evolution are the initial pH level, the participation of surfactant‐template F127, and the change in pH during the reaction.
