AB  - We hereby report a green and simple volatilization-condensation process to prepare high-purity magnesium in different crystal forms under vacuum condition. This method can be also used for the analysis of other metals, which can be separated by the same concept. In addition, Mg condensation is a very fast process, and the corresponding easy growth of the Mg crystals is promoted when the concentration of magnesium vapor is raised. From the view of crystallization, ultrafast crystal growth of high-purity magnesium is a barrier-free and orderly process. Interestingly, different condensed forms of Mg obtained via this ultrafast volatilization-condensation process are showing different purities. The distinct morphological formation of Mg in different condensed form is probably attributed to the differences of surface energy change of Mg during the condensation process.
