Direct observations of the modification of calcite growth morphology by Li+ through selectively stabilizing an energetically unfavourable face

In situ AFM observations of calcite growth in the presence of Li + show that the site-selective mechanism of Li+-surface interactions leads to morphology changes as a result of the stabilization of the energetically unfavourable (0001) face. Selective stabilization of an unexpressed face in pure gro...
