Microspheres in the early stages. (a) and (b) TEM images of vaterite microspheres obtained from the syntheses (a) 8 mM 1 g l−1 1 min (i.e. after 1 min of reaction) and (b) 8 mM 1 g l−1 30 min (i.e. after 30 min of reaction). The black arrow shows a crystal of around 60 nm width. (c) CXDI 2D view of 8 mM 1 g l−1 30 min. Scale bar = 1 µm. Note S:Ca = 0.59. |
