Calcium carbonate, particularly in the form of calcite, is an abundant mineral widely used in both human-made products and biological systems. The calcite surface possesses a high …
The presence of alcohol in binary alcohol–water mixtures can affect the precipitation pathways of anhydrous crystalline CaCO3 polymorphs and their morphology. We explored …
New insights into the understanding of calcite–water interface structure are obtained through direct comparisons of multiple classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with high …

The origin of dolomite is a long-standing enigma in sedimentary geology. It has been proposed that microorganisms, especially anaerobic microorganisms, can overcome kinetic …
Considerable interest in calcite crystallization has prompted many studies on organic molecule adsorption. However, each study has explored only a few compounds, using …

Aggregation‐based crystal growth often gives rise to crystals with complex morphologies which cannot be generated via classical growth processes. Despite this, understanding of …
Molecular dynamics simulation method was used to systematically study the adsorption configuration, density distribution and adsorption energy of H 2 O, CO 2, CH 4, N 2, C 8 H 18 …
Calcium carbonate minerals, such as aragonite and calcite, are widespread in biomineral skeletons, shells, exoskeletons, and more. With rapidly increasing p CO2 levels linked to …
