Manganese sulfide (MnS) crystallites with varying morphology and polymorph can be synthesized via a solvothermal process assisted by mineralizers. It was found that KOH or KNO 3 as a mineralizer played a key role in the crystallization and development of different kinds of MnS crystallites. Adding KOH in the solvothermal process resulted in the formation of α‐MnS crystallites, but γ‐MnS could be produced by introducing KNO 3 as a mineralizer. The morphology control was also available.
