Context: Carbon mineralization, the conversion of CO2 into stable carbonate phases through reactions with calcium- and magnesium-bearing minerals, is attracting increasing interest for carbon management and the development of more sustainable construction materials. Despite significant progress at the macroscopic scale, the molecular mechanisms governing mineral dissolution, aqueous speciation, interfacial transport, and the early stages of […]

Context: Mineral carbonation provides a naturally stable pathway for converting CO2 into solid carbonate phases and has important implications for carbon management, geological processes, and the development of sustainable construction materials. However, carbonation is a complex multistep process involving mineral dissolution, aqueous speciation, interfacial reactions, nucleation, and precipitation. Many of these processes occur simultaneously and […]
