Abstract
Understanding the crystallization of cement-binding phases, from basic units to macroscopic structures, can enhance cement performance, reduce clinker use, and lower CO2 emissions in the construction sector. This review examines the crystallization pathways of C-S-H (the main phase in PC cement) and other alternative binding phases, particularly as cement formulations evolve toward increasing SCMs and alternative binders as clinker replacements. We adopt a nonclassical crystallization perspective, which recognizes the existence of critical intermediate steps between ions in solution and the final crystalline phases, such as solute ion associates, dense liquid phases, amorphous intermediates, and nanoparticles. These multistep pathways uncover innovative strategies for controlling the crystallization of binding phases through additive use, potentially leading to highly optimized cement matrices. An outstanding example of additive-controlled crystallization in cementitious materials is the synthetically produced mesocrystalline C-S-H, renowned for its remarkable flexural strength. This highly ordered microstructure, which intercalates soft matter between inorganic and brittle C-S-H, was obtained by controlling the assembly of individual C-S-H subunits. While large-scale production of cementitious materials by a bottom-up self-assembly method is not yet feasible, the fundamental insights into the crystallization mechanism of cement binding phases presented here provide a foundation for developing advanced cement-based materials.

Abstract
A mechanistic understanding of the principles governing the hierarchical organization of supramolecular polymers offers a paradigm for tailoring synthetic molecular architectures at the nano to micrometric scales. Herein, the unconventional crystal growth mechanism of a supramolecular polymer of superbenzene(coronene)-diphenylalanine conjugate (Cr-FFOEt ) is demonstrated. 3D electron diffraction (3D ED), a technique underexplored in supramolecular chemistry, is effectively utilized to gain a molecular-level understanding of the gradual growth of the initially formed poorly crystalline hairy, fibril-like supramolecular polymers into the ribbon-like crystallites. The further evolution of these nanosized flat ribbons into microcrystals by oriented attachment and lateral fusion is probed by time-resolved microscopy and electron diffraction. The gradual morphological and structural changes reveal the nonclassical crystal growth pathway, where the balance of strong and weak intermolecular interactions led to a structure beyond the nanoscale. The role of distinct π-stacking and H-bonding interactions that drive the nonclassical crystallization process of Cr-FFOEt supramolecular polymers is analyzed in comparison to analogous molecules, Py-FFOEt and Cr-FF forming helical and twisted fibers, respectively. Furthermore, the Cr-FFOEt crystals formed through nonclassical crystallization are found to improve the functional properties.

Metastable atomic-ordered configurations for Al 1/2Ga 1/2N predicted by Monte-Carlo method based on first-principles calculations. JOURNAL OF PHYSICS. CONDENSED MATTER : AN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS JOURNAL 2023; 36:135001.

Abstract
Metastability of Aln/12Ga1-n/12N (n= 2-10: integer) with the 1-2 monolayer (ML) in-plane configuration towards thec[0001] direction has been demonstrated recently. To theoretically explain the existence of these metastable structures, relatively large calculation cells are needed. However, previous calculations were limited to the use of small calculation cell sizes to estimate the local potential depth (Δσ) of ordered Al1/2Ga1/2N models. In this work, we were able to evaluate large calculation cells based on the interaction energies between proximate Al atoms (δEAl-Al) in AlGaN alloys. To do this,δEAl-Alvalues were estimated by first-principles calculations (FPCs) using a (5a1× 5a2× 5c) cell. Next, a survey of the possible ordered configurations using various large calculation cell models was performed using the estimatedδEAl-Alvalues and the Monte-Carlo method. Then, various Δσvalues were estimated by FPCs and compared with the configurations previously reported by other research groups. We found that the ordered configuration obtained from the (4a1× 2a2× 1c) calculation cell (C42) has the lowest Δσof -9.3 meV/cation and exhibited an in-plane configuration at thec(0001) plane having (-Al-Al-Ga-Ga-) and (-Al-Ga-) sequence arrangements observed along them11-00planes. Hence, we found consistencies between the morphology obtained from experiment and the shape of the primitive cell based on our numerical calculations.

Abstract
Microplastics, which comprise one of the omnipresent threats to human health, are diverse in shape and composition. Their negative impacts on human and ecosystem health provide ample incentive to design and execute strategies to trap and degrade diversely structured microplastics, especially from water. This work demonstrates the fabrication of single-component TiO2 superstructured microrobots to photo-trap and photo-fragment microplastics. In a single reaction, rod-like microrobots diverse in shape and with multiple trapping sites, are fabricated to exploit the asymmetry of the microrobotic system advantageous for propulsion. The microrobots work synergistically to photo-catalytically trap and fragment microplastics in water in a coordinated fashion. Hence, a microrobotic model of "unity in diversity" is demonstrated here for the phototrapping and photofragmentation of microplastics. During light irradiation and subsequent photocatalysis, the surface morphology of microrobots transformed into porous flower-like networks that trap microplastics for subsequent degradation. This reconfigurable microrobotic technology represents a significant step forward in the efforts to degrade microplastics.

Abstract
This study synthesized UiO-66, a typical Zr-Metal Organic Framework (MOF), by using an ultrasound-assisted synthesis method to reduce the synthesis time. This method was short-time ultrasound irradiation at the initial stage of the reaction. As compared with average particle size of conventional solvothermal method (=192 nm), averaged particle size by the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method showed particle sizes that were smaller on average, ranging from 56 to 155 nm. In order to compare the relative reaction rates of the solvothermal method and the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method, the cloudiness of the reaction solution in the reactor was observed with a video camera, and the luminance was calculated from the images obtained by the video camera. It was found that the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method showed a faster increase in luminance and shorter induction time than the solvothermal method. The slope of the luminance increase during the transient period was also found to become increase with the addition of ultrasound, which also affects the growth of particles. Observation of the aliquoted reaction solution confirmed that particle growth was faster in the ultrasound-assisted synthesis method than in the solvothermal method. Numerical simulations were also performed using MATLAB ver. 5.5 to analyze the unique reaction field generated by ultrasound. Bubble radius and temperature inside a cavitation bubble was obtained using the Keller-Miksis equation, which reproduces the motion of a single bubble. The bubble radius expanded and contracted repeatedly according to the ultrasound sound pressure, and eventually collapsed. The temperature at the time of collapse was extremely high, exceeding 17,000 K. It was confirmed that the high-temperature reaction field generated by ultrasound irradiation promoted nucleation, leading to a reduction in particle size and induction time.

Abstract
Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a technique that uses the metabolic action of microorganisms to produce CO32- which combines with free Ca2+ to form CaCO3 precipitation. It has gained widespread attention in water treatment, aimed with the advantages of simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants, environmental protection, and ecological sustainability. This article reviewed the mechanism of MICP at both intra- and extra-cellular levels. It summarized the parameters affecting the MICP process in terms of bacterial concentration, ambient temperature, etc. The current status of MICP application in practical engineering is discussed. Based on this, the current technical difficulties faced in the use of MICP technology were outlined, and future research directions for MICP technology were highlighted. This review helps to improve the design of existing water treatment facilities for the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants using the MICP and provides theoretical reference and innovative thinking for related research.

Abstract
Mesocrystals are a class of nanostructured material, where a multiple-length-scale structure is a prerequisite of many interesting phenomena. Resolving the mesocrystal structure is quite challenging due to their structuration on different length scales. The combination of small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) techniques offers the possibility of non-destructively probing mesocrystalline structures simultaneously, over multiple length scales to reveal their microscopic structure. This work describes how high dynamical range of modern detectors sheds light on the weak features of scattering, significantly increasing the information content. The detailed analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) from the magnetite mesocrystals with different particle sizes and shapes is described, in tandem with electron microscopy. The revealed features provide valuable input to the models of mesocrystal growth and the choice of structural motif; the impact on magnetic properties is discussed.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions in water refer to significant risks to the biological system due to their high toxicity. Therefore, the decontamination of water polluted by heavy metal ions attracts significant interest of researchers. Adsorption by nanomaterials has been a widely used technique for removing heavy metal ions from water. Chitosan was extracted from shrimp shellfish and mixed with laboratory-prepared AgNPs/GO in the ratio of 3 : 1. A series of tests evaluates the best condition of pH, amount of adsorbent, retention time, stirring speed, temp, and initial concentration. The research was conducted under various conditions. Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherms were also tested. Also, the column adsorption experiment was carried out on industrial wastewater at different flow rates and column bed heights. The optimal values of the contact time, pH, and adsorbent dose of Cr(vi) were found to be 80 min, 4, and 0.1 g 100 mL−1, respectively, at room temperature (30 °C), agitation at 150 rpm, and initial concentration of 50 ppm. On the other hand, the optimal value of contact time, pH, and adsorbent dose of Fe(iii) were found to be 30 min, 6, and 0.02 g 100 mL−1, respectively, at room temp (30 °C) with a stirring speed of 250 rpm and an initial concentration of 40 ppm. For Cr(vi) and Fe(iii), equilibrium studies show that the data fit the Freundlich isotherm well (correlation coefficient, R2 = 0.98) (III). A link between the pseudo-second order active model and data fitting the pseudo-first order active models were made. Within the intraparticle diffusion model, there are four stages that the mechanism must go through before it is at equilibrium. The adsorbent was tested in an industrial adsorbent column. This test proves that the nanocomposite's adsorption capacity can be restored by washing it with 0.1 M HCl, as shown by the periodicity test. After four cycles, the amount of Cr(vi) adsorbed on AgNPs/GO/chitosan was just 20%, which is insufficient for further adsorption experiments. Cr(vi) removal rates (%R) decreased slightly.

Abstract
We demonstrate the synthesis of micron-sized assemblies of lead chalcogenide nanoparticles with controlled morphology, crystallinity, and composition through a facile room-temperature solution phase reaction. The amine-thiol solvent system enables this synthesis with a unique oriented attachment growth mechanism of nanoparticles occurring on the time scale of the reaction itself, forming single-crystalline microcubes of PbS, PbSe, and PbTe materials. Increasing the rate of reaction by changing reaction parameters further allows disturbing the oriented attachment mechanism, which results in polycrystalline microassemblies with uniform spherical morphologies. Along with polycrystallinity, due to the differences in reactivities of each chalcogen in the solution, a different extent of hollow-core nature is observed in these microparticles. Similar to morphologies, the composition of such microparticles can be altered through very simplistic room-temperature solution phase coprecipitation, as well as ion-exchange reactions. While coprecipitation reactions are successful in synthesizing core-shell microstructures of PbSe-PbTe materials, the use of solution phase ion-exchange reaction allows for the exchange of not only Te with Se but also Ag with Pb inside the core of the PbTe microparticles. Despite exchanging one Pb with two Ag cations, the hollow-core nature of particles aids in the retention of the original uniform microparticle morphology.

The mineralization dynamics of calcium carbonate is investigated under highly supersaturated conditions using graphene liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. We demonstrate that the mineralization process has three steps: nucleation, diffusion-limited growth, and Ostwald ripening/coalescence. In addition, we show that the polymorphs precipitate in a specific order, from metastable aragonite to stable calcite, thus proving Ostwald's rule of stages. In highly supersaturated solutions, the aragonite phase crystallizes in a stable manner, in addition to the calcite phase.

Abstract
Microbe-mediated mineralization is ubiquitous in nature, involving bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae. These mineralization processes comprise calcification, silicification, and iron mineralization. The mechanisms for mineral formation include extracellular and intracellular biomineralization. The mineral precipitating capability of microbes is often harnessed for green synthesis of metal nanoparticles, which are relatively less toxic compared with those synthesized through physical or chemical methods. Microbe-mediated mineralization has important applications ranging from pollutant removal and nonreactive carriers, to other industrial and biomedical applications. Herein, the different types of microbe-mediated biomineralization that occur in nature, their mechanisms, as well as their applications are elucidated to create a backdrop for future research.

Abstract
X-ray nanodiffraction is applied to study the formation and correlation of domain boundaries in mesocrystalline superlattices of PbS nanocrystals with face-centered cubic structure. Each domain of the superlattice can be described with one of two mesocrystalline polymorphs with different orientational orders. Close to a grain boundary, the lattice constant decreases and the superlattice undergoes an out-of-plane rotation, while the orientation of the nanocrystals with respect to the superlattice remains unchanged. These findings are explained with the release of stress on the expense of specific nanocrystal-substrate interactions. The fact that correlations between adjacent nanocrystals are found to survive the structural changes at most grain boundaries implies that the key to nanocrystal superlattices with macroscopic domain sizes are strengthened interactions with the substrate.

Abstract
Angular X-ray cross-correlation analysis (AXCCA) is a technique which allows quantitative measurement of the angular anisotropy of X-ray diffraction patterns and provides insights into the orientational order in the system under investigation. This method is based on the evaluation of the angular cross-correlation function of the scattered intensity distribution on a two-dimensional (2D) detector and further averaging over many diffraction patterns for enhancement of the anisotropic signal. Over the last decade, AXCCA was successfully used to study the anisotropy in various soft matter systems, such as solutions of anisotropic particles, liquid crystals, colloidal crystals, superlattices composed by nanoparticles, etc. This review provides an introduction to the technique and gives a survey of the recent experimental work in which AXCCA in combination with micro- or nanofocused X-ray microscopy was used to study the orientational order in various soft matter systems.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanocrystals is extensively used to generate superlattices with long-range translational order and atomic crystallographic orientation, i.e. mesocrystals, with emergent mesoscale properties, but the predictability and tunability of the assembly methods are poorly understood. Here, we report how mesocrystals produced by poor-solvent enrichment can be tuned by solvent composition, initial nanocrystal concentration, poor-solvent enrichment rate, and excess surfactant. The crystallographic coherence and mesoscopic order within the mesocrystal were characterized using techniques in real and reciprocal spaces, and superlattice growth was followed in real time by small-angle X-ray scattering. We show that formation of highly ordered superlattices is dominated by the evaporation-driven increase of the solvent polarity and particle concentration, and facilitated by excess surfactant. Poor-solvent enrichment is a versatile nanoparticle assembly method that offers a promising production route with high predictability to modulate and maximize the size and morphology of nanocrystal metamaterials. Versatile methods that can predictably assemble nanocrystals into large, well-ordered superlattices are rare. Here, the authors develop such a method–evaporation-driven poor-solvent enrichment–and rigorously determine the effect of various experimental parameters on the size, morphology, and mesoscopic order of the superlattices, giving the approach high predictive power.

Abstract
Mesocrystals are a new class of superstructures that are generally made of crystallographically highly ordered nanoparticles and could function as intermediates in a non-classical particle-mediated aggregation process. In the past decades, extensive research interest has been focused on the structural and morphogenetic aspects, as well as the growth mechanisms, of mesocrystals. Unique physicochemical properties including high surface area and ordered porosity provide new opportunities for potential applications. In particular, the oriented interfaces in mesocrystals are considered to be beneficial for effective photogenerated charge transfer, which is a promising photocatalytic candidate for promoting charge carrier separation. Only recently, remarkable advances have been reported with a special focus on TiO2 mesocrystal photocatalysts. However, there is still no comprehensive overview on various mesocrystal photocatalysts and their functional modifications. In this review, different kinds of mesocrystal photocatalysts, such as TiO2 (anatase), TiO2 (rutile), ZnO, CuO, Ta2O5, BiVO4, BaZrO3, SrTiO3, NaTaO3, Nb3O7(OH), In2O3-x (OH) y , and AgIn(WO4)2, are highlighted based on the synthesis engineering, functional modifications (including hybridization and doping), and typical structure-related photocatalytic mechanisms. Several current challenges and crucial issues of mesocrystal-based photocatalysts that need to be addressed in future studies are also given.

Abstract
The organization of matter from its constitutive units recruits intermediate states with distinctive degrees of self-association and molecular order. Existing as clusters, droplets, gels as well as amorphous and crystalline nanoparticles, these precursor forms have fundamental contributions towards the composition and structure of inorganic and organic architectures. In this personal account, we show that the transitions from atoms, molecules or ionic species to superstructures of higher order are intertwined with the interfaces and interactions of precursor and intermediate states. Structural organizations distributed across different length scales are explained by the multistep nature of nucleation and crystallization, which can be guided towards functional hybrid materials by the strategic application of additives, templates and reaction environments. Thus, the non-classical pathways for material formation and growth offer conceptual frameworks for elucidating, inducing and directing fascinating material organizations of biogenic and synthetic origins.

Abstract
Here, we propose heterogeneous nucleation-assisted hierarchical growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for efficient particulate matter (PM) removal. The assembly of two-dimensional (2D) Zn-based zeolite imidazole frameworks (2D-ZIF-L) in deionized water over a period of time produced hierarchical ZIF-L (H-ZIF-L) on hydrophilic substrates. During the assembly, the second nucleation and growth of ZIF-L occurred on the surface of the first ZIF-L, leading to the formation of flowerlike H-ZIF-L on the substrate. The flowerlike H-ZIF-L was easily synthesized on various substrates, namely, glass, polyurethane three-dimensional foam, nylon microfibers, and nonwoven fabrics. We demonstrated H-ZIF-L-assembled polypropylene microfibers as a washable membrane filter with highly efficient PM removal property (92.5 ± 0.8% for PM2.5 and 99.5 ± 0.2% for PM10), low pressure drop (10.5 Pa at 25 L min-1), long-term stability, and superior recyclability. These outstanding particle filtering properties are mainly attributed to the unique structure of the 2D-shaped H-ZIF-L, which is tightly anchored on individual fibers comprising the membrane.

Abstract
We show that the combination of X-ray scattering with a nanofocused beam and X-ray cross correlation analysis is an efficient way for the full structural characterization of mesocrystalline nanoparticle assemblies with a single experiment. We analyze several hundred diffraction patterns at individual sample locations, that is, individual grains, to obtain a meaningful statistical distribution of the superlattice and atomic lattice ordering. Simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering of the same sample location allows us to determine the structure and orientation of the superlattice as well as the angular correlation of the first two Bragg peaks of the atomic lattices, their orientation with respect to the superlattice, and the average orientational misfit due to local structural disorder. This experiment is particularly advantageous for synthetic mesocrystals made by the simultaneous self-assembly of nanocrystals and surface-functionalization with conductive ligands. While the structural characterization of such materials has been challenging so far, the present method now allows correlating the mesocrystalline structure with optoelectronic properties.

Abstract
Biomineralization is an important tactic by which biological organisms produce hierarchically structured minerals with marvellous functions. Biomineralization studies typically focus on the mediation function of organic matrices on inorganic minerals, which helps scientists to design and synthesize bioinspired functional materials. However, the presence of inorganic minerals may also alter the native behaviours of organic matrices and even biological organisms. This progress report discusses the latest achievements relating to biomineralization mechanisms, the manufacturing of biomimetic materials and relevant applications in biological and biomedical fields. In particular, biomineralized vaccines and algae with improved thermostability and photosynthesis, respectively, demonstrate that biomineralization is a strategy for organism evolution via the rational design of organism-material complexes. The successful modification of biological systems using materials is based on the regulatory effect of inorganic materials on organic organisms, which is another aspect of biomineralization control. Unlike previous studies, this study integrates materials and biological science to achieve a more comprehensive view of the mechanisms and applications of biomineralization.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide (O2-) radicals into molecular oxygen (O2) and H2O2 as a first line of defense against oxidative stress. Here, we show that glycine-functionalized copper(ii) hydroxide nanoparticles (Gly-Cu(OH)2 NPs) are functional SOD mimics, whereas bulk Cu(OH)2 is insoluble in water and catalytically inactive. In contrast, Gly-Cu(OH)2 NPs form water-dispersible mesocrystals with a SOD-like activity that is larger than that of their natural CuZn enzyme counterpart. Based on this finding, we devised an application where Gly-Cu(OH)2 NPs were incorporated into cigarette filters. Cigarette smoke contains high concentrations of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS, >1016 molecules per puff) including superoxide and reactive nitrogen species which lead to the development of chronic and degenerative diseases via oxidative damage and subsequent cell death. Embedded in cigarette filters Gly-Cu(OH)2 NPs efficiently removed ROS from smoke, thereby protecting lung cancer cell lines from cytotoxic effects. Their stability, ease of production and versatility make them a powerful tool for a wide range of applications in environmental chemistry, biotechnology and medicine.

Abstract
We analyze the structure and morphology of mesocrystalline, body-centered tetragonal (bct) superlattices of PbS nanocrystals functionalized with oleic acid. On the basis of combined scattering and real space imaging, we derive a three-dimensional (3D) model of the superlattice and show that the bct structure benefits from a balanced combination of {100}PbS-{100}PbS and {111}PbS-{111}PbS interactions between neighboring layers of nanocrystals, which uniquely stabilizes this structure. These interactions are enabled by the coaxial alignment of the atomic lattices of PbS with the superlattice. In addition, we find that this preferential orientation is already weakly present within isolated monolayers. By adding excess oleic acid to the nanocrystal solution, tetragonal distortion is suppressed, and we observe assembly into a bilayered hexagonal lattice reminiscent of a honeycomb with grain sizes of several micrometers.

Abstract
The self-organization of nanocrystals has proven to be a versatile route to achieve increasingly sophisticated structures of materials, where the shape and properties of individual particles impact the final functionalities. Recent works have addressed this topic by combining various shapes to achieve more complex arrangements of particles than are possible in single-component samples. However, the ability to create intricate architectures over large regions by exploiting the shape of multiply branched nanocrystals to host a second component remains unexplored. Here, we show how the concave shape of a branched nanocrystal, the so-called octapod, is able to anchor a sphere. The two components self-assemble into a locally ordered monolayer consisting of an intercalated square lattice of octapods and spheres, which is reminiscent of the "tic-tac-toe" game. These tic-tac-toe domains form through an interfacial self-assembly that occurs by the dewetting of a hexane layer containing both particle types. By varying the experimental conditions and performing molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the ligands coating the octapods are crucial to the formation of this structure. We find that the tendency of an octapod to form an interlocking-type structure with a second octapod strongly depends on the ligand shell of the pods. Breaking this tendency by ligand exchange allows the octapods to assemble into a more relaxed configuration, which is able to form a lock-and-key-type structure with a sphere, when they have a suitable size ratio. Our findings provide an example of a more versatile use of branched nanocrystals in self-assembled functional materials.

Abstract
Dark field transmission electron microscopy has been applied herein to visualize the interactions of inorganic nanomaterials with biological systems. This new application of a known technique addresses a deficiency in status quo visualization techniques. High resolution and low noise images can be acquired to locate and identify crystalline nanoparticles in complex biological matrices. Moreover, through the composition of multiple images taken at different angular beam tilts, it is possible to image a majority of nanoparticles present at a site in dark field mode. This facilitates clarity regarding the internalization of nanomaterials in cellular systems. In addition, comparing dark field images recorded at different angular tilts yields insight into the character of nanoparticle faceting.
