This project explores the formation of calcium carbonate in biological systems, particularly focusing on the role of amorphous calcium carbonate as a precursor. It aims to understand the mechanisms behind polymorph selection and the implications for biogenic mineralization.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a widely studied inorganic compound very abundant in nature as a mineral and a biomineral.
It is an important building block of biological bodies, making up the structure of invertebrate organisms.
CaCO3 is also a key compound for CO2 sequestration strategies.
Recent investigations have reported a so-called non-classical pathway for CaCO3 formation, which involves the formation of an amorphous precursor: amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which acts as an intermediat…
