Theme D: Aggregation-Based Mechanisms of Crystal Growth Fiona Meldrum, James Elliott, Mike Allen, Roland Kröger Helmut Cölfen, Nico Sommerdijk

Goals: Aggregation-based crystal growth mechanisms From crystalline to amorphous precursor particles Mesocrystals PILP Nanoparticle interactions in solution (Elliott) Studying the molecular interactions between calcite nanoparticles in aqueous solution, in order to deduce coarse-grained potentials of mean force for incorporation into larger scale models of aggregation (Warwick, year 4) and to reduce the calculation time required for more complex solvents using AdResS

PILP Phases of Calcium Carbonate (Meldrum/ Sommerdijk) Investigated PILP formation in the presence of a series of random copoly(amino acid)s constructed from 80%-20%, 50%-50% and 20%-80% aspartic acid and serine residues Infiltration of Collagen with PILP Phases (Meldrum/ Sommerdijk) Studying the infiltration of collagen with calcium carbonate and iron oxides using SAXS/ WAXS and TEM. The collagen matrix provides remarkable control over the morphology and orientation of the occluded crystalline mineral phase in both the calcium carbonate and iron oxide systems, and that ultra-thin platelets are generated within the collagen.

High-Magnesian Calcite Mesocrystals (Sommerdijk/ Meldrum) Liquid-Cell TEM Studies (Kroger) A three port fluid cell holder has been purchased by Kroger to perform in-situ investigation of crystallisation processes under atmospheric conditions in a TEM. The cell holder has two input, and one output channel, which can be used to control the fluid composition. High-Mg calcite crystals were formed in non-aqueous environments. Mg-containing ACC was produced by reacting a mixture of organometallic Ca and Mg complexes with CO 2 and control over the Mg incorporation was obtained according to the ratio of the starting materials. Subsequent crystallization at reduced water activities in an organic solvent/ water mixture yields high-magnesian calcite mesocrystals.

Calcium Carbonate Mesocrystals: A Story Fiona Meldrum, Yi-Yeoun Kim, Johannes Ihli, Anna Schenk, Nicola Hetherington

What is a Mesocrystal? “... a mesocrystal ideally comprises a 3D array of iso-oriented single crystal particles of size 1–1,000 nm. The highly oriented subunits therefore distinguish a mesocrystal from a randomly oriented polycrystal, and the identifiable nano-sized building units distinguish it from a single crystal containing impurities.” Seto, Ma, Davis, Meldrum, Kim, Colfen et al PNAS 2012, 109(10), 3699.

Evidence for a Mesocrystal ? 1.Morphology – evidence for nanoscale subunits (SEM analysis) 2.XRD – line broadening used as evidence of sub-structure 3.Ultrastructure - evidence for nanoscale subunits (TEM analysis) 4.Surface Area – large surface areas used as evidence of sub-structure (porosimetry)

Poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) “Classic” Synthetic CaCO 3 Mesocrystals Poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid) (PS-MA) Poly(styrene sulfonate – co – maleic acid) (PSS-MA)

Review Evidence for Mesocrystal Structure - SEM Poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid) (PS-MA) Cobalt ions Observe similar morphologies / surface roughness Sample precipitated with Co is a single crystal  well-studied in the literature

Seeded Growth Characteristic morphologies  can be produced simply by growing a rhombohedral calcite seed crystal in the presence of the polymer additives 2 -3  m seed Morphology is not defined at nucleation/ early stages of growth

XRD Analysis – Line Broadening Commonly seen in literature  line broadening attributed to small particles: Scherrer equation: However... LATTICE STRAIN ALSO CAUSES BROADENING OF XRD PEAKS!! Relationship of broadening with diffraction angle (  ) different From analysis of whole spectrum one can derive the separate contributions of particle size and strain to the line broadening  = crystallite size  = FWHM K = shape factor

High Resolution Synchrotron Powder Analysis of Calcite Mesocrystals 2 independent analyses (by people who don’t care...) Line broadening due entirely to LATTICE STRAIN ! No nanoparticulate sub-structure 2 separate batches PSS-MA 800 nm domain PS-MA 1000 nm domain

Distinct interface along the edge, but continuity of crystal orientation and single crystal structure No evidence for nanoparticulate substructure Ultrastructure – TEM Analysis (FIB)

Surface Area - Porosimetry Challenging and Interesting ! Helmut’s calcite mesocrystals  surface areas > 100 m 2 /g Repeated experiments  values < 10 m 2 /g What is going on ?? Surface area is time-dependent ! If you analyse crystals freshly removed from the solution (after any ageing time), surface areas > 100 m 2 /g HOWEVER, if you leave a sample in air for  5-7 days before analysing the surface area, surface area < 10 m 2 /g

It has been suggested that mesocrystals undergo a recrystallization with time Do the internal nanoparticles fuse, causing a reduction in surface area ? Synchrotron XRD analysis : See no change in the line broadening between new and old samples Further, see no change in line width after heating a sample to 400 o C Results suggest that the difference in surface areas on aging is a SURFACE EFFECT  possible blocking of surface pores ??

Evidence for Calcite Mesocrystals - Mechanism of Formation? Wang, Colfen, Antonietti, JACS, 2005, 127, ACC particles formed ACC particles rapidly aggregate Subsequent crystallization No evidence for crystalline nanoparticles has been obtained (to-date)

Characterisation of the Ammonia Diffusion Method Common observation – “mesocrystal” morphologies only formed with diffusion-based syntheses Nucleation event consumes only a minor fraction of the Ca ions Superaturation remains constant and well above the solubility level of ACC for the vast majority of the reaction  New material is constantly generated throughout the reaction using the ADM

A Possible Scenario? CaCO 3 mesocrystals based on the crystallization of assemblies of ACC nanoparticles rather than the oriented assembly of precursor crystalline nanoparticles New particles nucleate on existing polymer-stabilized ACC aggregates, or on crystalline particles at later stages of the reaction, giving rise to more complex morphologies. Ostwald ripening can be important in generating key mesocrystal morphologies. Even the slowest reaction conditions, the ADM is complete and the calcium ions depleted after 6-8 hours. Morphological changes in crystals after  12 hrs (days to weeks have been described), are due to Ostwald ripening/ recrystallization in the presence of polymer. Synthetic CaCO 3 mesocrystals may resemble biogenic calcite mesocrystals, where the ultrastructure derives from a memory of the ACC precursor phase.

Biogenic Mesocrystals – Sea Urchin Spines “.... the term mesocrystal defines the structure of a material rather than its mechanism of formation.” “... while oriented aggregation of crystalline nanoparticles can give rise to either a single crystal or mesocrystal product... a mesocrystal can also form when a dense array of amorphous nanoparticles crystallizes to give a highly co-oriented end-product material.” Seto, Ma, Davis, Meldrum, Kim, Colfen et al PNAS 2012, 109(10), NMR, SAXS  Residual ACC Consistent with nanoparticles coated with ACC

Summary Evidence for calcite “mesocrystals” poor  no evidence for oriented assembly Complicated by dominance of ACC precursor phase Residual mesoscale structure may originate as a memory of ACC precursor phase Modelling: Steer well clear of calcite as a model “mesocrystal” Address a well-characterised system (eg iron oxides) Experiment: Development of morphologies, crystal growth mechanisms interesting Mechanism of crystallization of ACC phase (link with modelling)
