Magnesium ions are widely found in calcium-based biominerals as an accessory
component. In this report, the influence of magnesium ions on the crystal growth of CaCO3 …

Mg2+ ions and acidic proteins are both controlling elements in biomineralization. The
present study combines the two types of additives (Mg2+ ions and a denatured collagen …

Mg2+ and the mixture of Mg2+/dl-aspartic or l-tyrosine were used as effective crystal
nucleation and growth modifiers to control the crystallization of CaCO3. The polymorph and …

A solution-phase route has been considered as the most promising route to synthesize
noble nanostructures. A majority of their synthesis approaches of calcium carbonate …

Soluble additives provide a versatile strategy for controlling crystallization processes,
enabling selection of properties including crystal sizes, morphologies, and structures. The …

The formation of calcite (CaCO3), the most abundant carbonate mineral on Earth and a
common biomineral, has been the focus of numerous studies. While recent research …

The ability of silica to influence the mineralization of alkaline-earth carbonates is an
outstanding example for the formation of biomimetic structures in the absence of any organic …

In biomineralization, organisms have the abilities to produce biominerals with superior
properties. One of the most attractive features of biominerals is the presence of the proteins …

In this paper, well-defined vaterite hollow spheres and amorphous barium carbonate
microrods are synthesized in Proteus mirabilis/urea solution. The urease-generated …

As an essential inorganic material, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant
minerals in nature, whose preparation by the carbonation of calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) 2] …
