“中晶”一词已被广泛用于描述由定向组装形成的晶体,并表现出纳米颗粒亚结构。本文以方解石晶体与聚合物共沉淀为例,对中晶的概念进行了批判性的研究。在这里,我们证明了通常用于分配介晶结构的数据可能经常被误解,并且这些方解石/聚合物晶体不具有纳米颗粒亚结构。虽然形貌表明纳米颗粒的存在,但它们只存在于晶体表面。只有刚从溶液中取出的晶体才记录到高表面积,并且再次归因于固体方解石核心上的纳米颗粒薄壳。粉末x射线衍射光谱中的线展宽仅是由于晶格应变,排除了纳米颗粒亚结构的存在。最后,对晶体前驱体形成机理的研究没有提供证据。因此,可能需要对一些中晶的现有文献进行重新评价。“中晶”一词描述了由定向组装形成的三维晶体,并表现出纳米粒子的亚结构。在这里,作者对合成碳酸钙/聚合物晶体进行了详细的结构分析,并表明用于分配介晶的共同特征可能不可靠。
The term mesocrystal has been widely used to describe crystals that form by oriented assembly, and that exhibit nanoparticle substructures. Using calcite crystals co-precipitated with polymers as a suitable test case, this article looks critically at the concept of mesocrystals. Here we demonstrate that the data commonly used to assign mesocrystal structure may be frequently misinterpreted, and that these calcite/polymer crystals do not have nanoparticle substructures. Although morphologies suggest the presence of nanoparticles, these are only present on the crystal surface. High surface areas are only recorded for crystals freshly removed from solution and are again attributed to a thin shell of nanoparticles on a solid calcite core. Line broadening in powder X-ray diffraction spectra is due to lattice strain only, precluding the existence of a nanoparticle sub-structure. Finally, study of the formation mechanism provides no evidence for crystalline precursor particles. A re-evaluation of existing literature on some mesocrystals may therefore be required. The term mesocrystal describes three-dimensional crystals formed by oriented assembly and that exhibit nanoparticle substructures. Here, the authors perform detailed structural analyses on synthetic calcium carbonate/polymer crystals, and show that common signatures used to assign mesocrystals may be unreliable.
