Research demonstrates that coalescence of ion-rich nanodroplets forms solid magnesium-calcium carbonates, indicating phase separation's role.
Nanoscale ion-rich droplets formed by liquid–liquid phase separation can be stabilized in nonaqueous media. Controlled water addition drives their coalescence and solidification into a monolithic amorphous inorganic solid, as reported by Jerry C. C. Chan et al. in their Research Article (e202518706). The artwork depicts the guided pathway from fluid nanodroplets to a rigid, glassy material.
