Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Nanoparticle assembly and attachment are common pathways of crystal growth by which
particles organize into larger scale materials with hierarchical structure and long-range …

BACKGROUND Numerous lines of evidence challenge the traditional interpretations of how
crystals nucleate and grow in synthetic and natural systems. In contrast to the monomer-by …

Nucleation, the initial process in vapor condensation, crystal nucleation, melting, and
boiling, is the localized emergence of a distinct thermodynamic phase at the nanoscale that …

There is growing evidence for the advantages of synthesizing nanosized zeolites with
markedly reduced internal diffusion limitations for enhanced performances in catalysis and …

The latest developments in zeolite membranes are reviewed, with an emphasis on the
synthesis techniques, including seed assembly and secondary growth methods. This review …

This review describes a zeolitic material widely used in sustainable development and high-
added value applications, namely ZSM-5 zeolite. It started with a general overview of …

Nonclassical crystallization (NCC) summarizes a number of crystallization pathways, which
differ from the classical layer-by-layer growth of crystals involving atomic/molecular building …

In the hydrothermal crystallization of zeolites from basic media, hydroxide ions (OH–)
catalyze the depolymerization of the aluminosilicate gel by breaking the Si, Al–O–Si, Al …

Two-phase titanium-based alloys are widely used in aerospace and biomedical
applications, and they are obtained through phase transformations between a low …
