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

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 …

Nucleation and growth are universally important in systems from the atomic to the
micrometre scale as they dictate structural and functional attributes of crystals. However, at …

Metal carbonates, which are ubiquitous in the near-surface mineral record, are a major
product of biomineralizing organisms and serve as important targets for capturing …

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

Membrane desalination that enables the harvesting of purified water from unconventional
sources such as seawater, brackish groundwater, and wastewater has become …

Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is based on the notion of critical nuclei serving as
transition states between supersaturated solutions and growing particles. Their excess …

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 …

The scaling problem in the water supply pipeline will increase the resistance coefficient of
the pipeline and the pressure of the water supply pipeline, which will not only affect the …

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 …
