Abstract
Calcium carbonate is a common natural mineral with a wide range of applications. In this study, hollow calcite microspheres were successfully synthesized by using calcium chloride and sodium carbonate as raw materials in an SDS-PEG system. The results suggested that the appropriate concentration of SDS is necessary during the spherical crystallization of calcium carbonate. It was found that the crystals started to aggregate under the effect of SDS, and aggregation was enhanced with an increase in SDS concentration, leading to the transformation from hollow to solid microspheres. However, high temperatures will lead to the transformation from calcite to aragonite, resulting in the collapse of the formed spherical structure. Infrared spectroscopy and conductivity analysis suggested that when the concentration of SDS reached 0.3 g/L in the PEG-SDS system, SDS and PEG formed a spherical supramolecular structure. This structure could act as a template, leading to the aggregation of calcite through electrostatic attraction and finally to the formation of a hollow spherical structure.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:ma15217437.

Abstract
Numerous approaches have been developed to control the crystalline and morphology of calcium carbonate. In this paper, nanobubbles were studied as a novel aid for the structure transition from vaterite to calcite. The vaterite particles turned into calcite (100%) in deionized water containing nanobubbles generated by high-speed shearing after 4 h, in comparison to a mixture of vaterite (33.6%) and calcite (66.3%) by the reaction in the deionized water in the absence of nanobubbles. The nanobubbles can coagulate with calcite based on the potential energy calculated and confirmed by the extended DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) theory. According to the nanobubble bridging capillary force, nanobubbles were identified as the binder in strengthening the coagulation between calcite and vaterite and accelerated the transformation from vaterite to calcite.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important inorganic mineral in biological and geological systems. Traditionally, it is widely used in plastics, papermaking, ink, building materials, textiles, cosmetics, and food. Over the last decade, there has been rapid development in the controlled synthesis and surface modification of CaCO3, the stabilization of amorphous CaCO3 (ACC), and CaCO3-based nanostructured materials. In this review, the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 is first examined, including Ca2+-CO32- systems, solid-liquid-gas carbonation, water-in-oil reverse emulsions, and biomineralization. Advancing insights into the nucleation and crystallization of CaCO3 have led to the development of efficient routes towards the controlled synthesis of CaCO3 with specific sizes, morphologies, and polymorphs. Recently-developed surface modification methods of CaCO3 include organic and inorganic modifications, as well as intensified surface reactions. The resultant CaCO3 can then be further engineered via template-induced biomineralization and layer-by-layer assembly into porous, hollow, or core-shell organic-inorganic nanocomposites. The introduction of CaCO3 into nanostructured materials has led to a significant improvement in the mechanical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties of such materials, with the resultant CaCO3-based nanostructured materials showing great potential for use in biomaterials and biomedicine, environmental remediation, and energy production and storage. The influences that the preparation conditions and additives have on ACC preparation and stabilization are also discussed. Studies indicate that ACC can be used to construct environmentally-friendly hybrid films, supramolecular hydrogels, and drug vehicles. Finally, the existing challenges and future directions of the controlled synthesis and functionalization of CaCO3 and its expanding applications are highlighted.
