Abstract
This work presents the controlled mechanism in defining the crystallization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) using synthesized imidazolium-based surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs): 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [C12mim]Br as a crystal growth template. Micro-scale-sized highly ordered precipitated CaCO3 (PCC) geometries—calcite and aragonite—are customized by regular precipitation approach in the presence of [C12mim]Br and its systematic characterization was performed using spectral, diffraction, and microscopy techniques. The alterations in the harvested crystal morphology of the as-prepared CaCO3 as a function of [C12mim]Br concentration range from classical rhombohedral calcite to unusual and uneven aragonite.
