4.6 billion year old aragonite and its implications for understanding the geological record of Ca-carbonate [PDF]
Owing to its diagenetic instability, aragonite is rare in the geological record and almost entirely absent from pre-carboniferous sedimentary rocks. The former presence of this mineral in older deposits has to be inferred from petrographic, chemical or ...

Advances and Outlook of Nickel‐Based MOFs–LDHs Materials for Energy Conversion
In this graphical abstract, we present the pivotal gap between the activity and stability parameters as far as intergrated Ni‐based MOF/LDF electrocatalysts are concerned. For large scale application, these two parameters should be optimized and furthermore balanced in order to promote sustainable electrocatalytic hydrogen production.

Experimental constraints on amphibole stability in primitive alkaline and calc-alkaline magmas [PDF]
Equilibrium crystallization experiments were carried out on two primitive basaltic rocks (APR16: Na2O+K2O=4.40 wt%; CM42: Na2O+K2O=2.59 wt%) with the aim to investigate the amphibole stability in the differentiation processes at deep crustal level, of

From Ancient Techniques to Modern Solutions: In Situ Synthesis of C‐S‐H for Sandstone Conservation
Herein, this work presents a paleo‐inspired approach to synthesizing and optimizing C‐S‐H‐based grouting mortars for conserving the sandstone of Beishan Grottoes, Dazu Rock Carvings, China. By achieving an optimal recipe compatible with natural sandstone, this work demonstrates the pivotal role of hydrogen bonding in the adhesion between C‐S‐H mortars ...
