Qualitative measurements observations and field observations measurements indicate mineral coatings are one of the most abundant ways earth materials form, including in sedimentary deposits and certain biominerals. Formation of amorphous carbonates and other metastable intermediates in such these mixed cation systems is poorly understood, however. Using in situ PDF and SAXS, along with ICP-MS and SEM, results from this study 1) determines identify a novel short-range ordered Cd-ACC phase and 2) finds determine amorphous carbonate is stabilized by Cd2+, and 3) support formation of Cd-substituted vaterite, a polymorph of Ca that is not natively formed by Cd CO3. Results are highly dependent on ACC supersaturation, suggesting Cd-induced stability of Cd-ACC are is dependent primarily very sensitive on amorphous phase kinetics rather than thermodynamics to the rate of Cd-ACC nucleation and transformation. Findings provide a quantitative understanding of precursor intermediate phase structure and stability in mixed cation carbonate systems and aggregation that impact and suggest alternate pathways to forming the chemical heterogeneities frequently observed in natural mineral coatings.
