Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.
