Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the
history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541 Ma. Both marine diversification …

The calamitous impacts of unabated carbon emission from fossil-fuel-burning energy
infrastructure call for accelerated development of large-scale CO2 capture, utilization and …

Microencapsulating phase-change materials (PCMs) into CaCO 3 shell is considered as an
effective way to resolve the leakage problem of the microcapsule system and enhance its …

A superhydrophobic anticorrosive CaCO 3 coating was prepared on Mg-Nd alloy by
ultrasound-assisted chemical conversion. Results show that the prepared coating consists of …

Ikaite is a metastable calcium carbonate hexahydrate (CaCO3· 6H2O), which naturally
occurs in environments characterized by temperatures of− 2 to+ 7° C. It is therefore …

A CaCO 3 coating with good anticorrosion and self-healing performance was fabricated on
the as-prepared MAO coating on the surface of AZ41 Mg alloy via ultrasound-assisted …

Organisms use inorganic ions and macromolecules to regulate crystallization from
amorphous precursors, endowing natural biominerals with complex morphologies and …

Abstract Larnite (β-C 2 S) is a low-calcium mineral with a low rate of early hydration which
has a high CO 2 sequestration potential. Synthetic β-C 2 S was exposed to pure CO 2 for …

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 …

Reef-building corals and their aragonite (CaCO3) skeletons support entire reef ecosystems,
yet their formation mechanism is poorly understood. Here we used synchrotron …
