The Crystallization Process of Vaterite Microdisc Mesocrystals via Proto-Vaterite Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Characterized by Cryo-X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Investigation on the formation mechanism of crystals via amorphous precursors has attracted a lot of interests in the last years. The formation mechanism of thermodynamically meta-stable vaterite in pure alcohols in the absence of any additive is less known. Herein, the crystallization process of va...
