Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

Nucleation and growth are critical steps in crystallization, which plays an important role in
determining crystal structure, size, morphology, and purity. Therefore, understanding the …

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion
batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Single …

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

Designing adsorption materials with high adsorption capacities and selectivities is highly
desirable for precious metal recovery. Desorption performance is also particularly crucial for …

Inorganic scaling caused by precipitation of sparingly soluble salts at supersaturation is a
common but critical issue, limiting the efficiency of membrane-based desalination and brine …

Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are biocompatible and biodegradable materials showing a
great promise in bone regeneration as good alternative to the use of auto-and allografts to …

Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely used in the field of bone regeneration,
both in orthopedics and in dentistry, due to their good biocompatibility, osseointegration and …

Abstract All‐inorganic CsPbX3 (X= I, Br, Cl or their mixtures) perovskites attract enormous
attention in recent years due to their excellent optoelectronic properties, outstanding …

BACKGROUND Numerous lines of evidence challenge the traditional interpretations of how
crystals nucleate and grow in synthetic and natural systems. In contrast to the monomer-by …
