A chemical bond simulation was proposed to quantitatively calculate the growth rate from the kinetic model of the crystal-solution interface. When this approach was applied to the cases of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals grown from the solution with different surpersaturation, the growth behaviors of KDP crystals were predicted and the calculated results were consistent with the experimental data. These results demonstrate that regulating the distribution of the chemical bonds between the crystal and solution interfaces can effectively control the crystal morphology. Seeding experiments with the chemical bond simulation may have significant potential towards the development of shape-controlled growth with defined conditions.
