Shape-preserving amorphous-to-crystalline transformation of CaCO 3 revealed by in situ TEM
Abstract
Significance Understanding of the shape-preserving crystallization from transient amorphous precursors to crystalline products in biomineralization makes it possible to produce topologically complex morphologies that defy crystallographic controls. Here we use in situ liquid-phase TEM, FTIR, and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate transformation of amorphous CaCO 3 to crystalline phases in the presence of multiple additives. In situ observations reveal that Mg 2+ , which brings excess water into the bulk, is unique in initiating crystallization within the amorphous phase, leading to a shape-preserving transformation that is accompanied by dehydration. Simulation results find that the water accelerates ionic rearrangement within the solid phase, enabling the shape-preserving transformation. This in-depth understanding provides an alternative strategy for manufacturing crystals with arbitrary morphologies by design.
