Gypsum heterogenous nucleation pathways regulated by surface functional groups and hydrophobicity

Abstract Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) plays a critical role in numerous natural and industrial processes. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms governing the formation of gypsum crystals on surfaces with diverse chemical properties remain poorly understood due to a lack of sufficient temporal-spatial resol...
