Key Points

Liquid-liquid phase separation significantly contributes to mineral crystallization processes, showcasing an essential transition in understanding.
This study demonstrates the importance of phase separation with implications for diverse geological and materials science applications.
The approach involves examining phase transitions in a variety of mineral solutions to unveil underlying crystallization mechanisms.
These findings indicate a need for re-evaluation of established crystallization theories, potentially refining future research directions.

Implication

Analysis highlights liquid-liquid phase separation as a key intermediate, suggesting new crystallization pathways.

Abstract

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is increasingly been recognized as a critical intermediate in non-classical crystallization pathways, representing a paradigmatic shift from early descriptions invoking single-step nucleation. While extensively documented in...
