Mineralization of alkaline-earth carbonates in silica-rich media at high pH leads to
fascinating crystal morphologies that strongly resemble products from biomineralization …

This study is focused on the stability of weddellite, the dihydrate phase of calcium oxalate
[CaC2O4·(2+ x) H2O], mainly detected in kidney stones and in oxalate films found on the …

The effects of silica (SiO2) and sugar on the crystallographic and morphological properties
of calcium oxalate (CaOx) have been investigated using instrumental techniques including X …

The new period of science and technology implies control over the size and shape of
materials. In determining the properties and potential application of materials the …

Amorphous CaCO 3 (ACC) is stabilized by the presence of phytic acid, a natural inositol
hexakisphosphate (IP 6). Micrometer‐sized hollow spheres of ACC have been obtained …

Calcium carbonate is a common constituent of many natural materials, such as shells and
skeletons of marine animals. While it is well-documented that additives (organic and …

The ability to control the morphology of precipitated cerium oxalate material results in
determinate evidence to its final properties. In this study, we demonstrate that surfactant-free …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite are not very common in abiotic systems,
but they play a very significant role in biomineralization processes and are key in the global …

The majority of particle synthesis methods are based on nucleation and growth processes in
solvents. Whereas the role of capping agents has been investigated extensively regarding …

Crystalline La and Nd carbonates can be formed from poorly-ordered nanoparticulate
precursors, termed amorphous lanthanum carbonate (ALC) and amorphous neodymium …
