In this review article, selected, latest theoretical, and experimental developments in the field
of nucleation and crystal growth of inorganic materials from aqueous solution are …

Nature produces biomineral‐based materials with a fascinating set of properties using only
a limited number of elements. This set of properties is obtained by closely controlling the …

Do corals form their skeletons by precipitation from solution or by attachment of amorphous
precursor particles as observed in other minerals and biominerals? The classical model …

Amorphous calcium carbonate plays a key role as transient precursor in the early stages of
biogenic calcium carbonate formation in nature. However, due to its instability in aqueous …

Understanding and controlling nucleation is important for many crystallization applications.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is often used as a model system to investigate nucleation …

Ancient architectures are an important part of immovable cultural heritage and the largest
surviving amount of tangible cultural heritage in the world. However, the increasingly serious …

Lignocellulosic biomass photoreforming is a promising and alternative strategy for both
sustainable H 2 production and biomass valorization with infinite solar energy. However …

“Non-classical” notions consider formation pathways of crystalline materials where larger
species than monomeric chemical constituents, ie, ions or single molecules, play crucial …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an intermediate step during the precipitation of
calcium carbonate, and is assumed to play a key role in biomineralization processes. Here …

Marine fishery wastes such as bivalve shells, crab shells and cuttlebone are rich in calcium.
Calcium carbonate derived from these materials can be transformed into calcium oxide by …
