Biological organisms can use amorphous precursors to produce inorganic skeletons with
continuous structures through complete particle fusion. Synthesizing monoliths is much …

Many organisms use amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and control its stability by various
additives and water; however, the underlying mechanisms are yet unclear. Here, the effect of …

As well known, sulfate and phosphate are widely used additives for MOC products. In this
work, the influence of FeSO 4 and KH 2 PO 4 on the properties of magnesium oxychloride …

Temperature and pH value can affect the short‐range order of proto‐structured and additive‐
free amorphous calcium carbonates (ACCs). Whereas a distinct change occurs in proto …

In air, the mechanisms of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) transformation into
crystalline polymorphs of CaCO3 and whether the atomic ordering is attributable to a solid …

The interfaces of calcite with water, dehydrated and hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate
are studied with molecular dynamics simulations. The interfacial energies demonstrate that …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is known to play a prominent role in biomineralization.
Different studies on the structure of biogenic ACCs have illustrated that they can have …

In recent years, magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) has been widely used in the field of
building materials. As the main raw material in MOC, bischofite plays an important role in the …

The fundamental processes of nucleation and crystallization are widely observed in systems
relevant to material synthesis and biomineralization; yet most often, their mechanism …

An innovative approach involving a collection of experiments to mimic and assess the
different conditions (at selected time-pH-[Mg 2+]-humidity) existing during the carbonation …
