Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years,
resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such …

The most promising solid electrolytes for all-solid-state Li batteries are oxide and sulfide
ceramics. Current ceramic solid electrolytes are brittle and lack the toughness to withstand …

Abstract Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), the most abundant biogenic mineral on earth, plays a
crucial role in various fields such as hydrosphere, biosphere, and climate regulation. Of the …

The formation of aragonite under ambient conditions is typically linked to Mg-rich aqueous
environments. The grains that form in such environments show peculiar properties such as …

The presence of sulfur in transportation fuels has bad consequences for health and the
environment, and there are many techniques used for removing or eliminating sulfur content …

The internal crystallinity of calcite is investigated for samples synthesized using two
approaches: precipitation from solution and the ammonium carbonate diffusion method …

The standard model is applied for partial disclination pairs in hard materials. These defects
comprise two partial disclinations and an intervening fault that can be a twin boundary, grain …

It is generally accepted that aragonite crystals of biogenic origin are characterized by
significantly higher twin densities compared to samples formed during geological processes …

We have investigated different carbonate minerals (calcite, aragonite, and ankerite) from two
meteorites with different shock metamorphic stages (Boriskino, CM2−∼ S3-S4 and …

Facing up to the aim of global carbon neutrality, the mass production of sodium-ion batteries
(SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) is severely restricted by low capacities and inferior …
