Strategic Objectives
• Master the precise mechanisms of nucleation and crystal lattice formation.
• Control crystal habit and morphology for industrial and environmental applications.
• Discover the catalytic pathways that accelerate slow mineralization rates.
• Optimize purity and structural integrity of calcite and magnesite precipitates.
The Core Challenge
While carbon capture focuses on gathering CO2, the real challenge lies in the complex kinetics of turning ions into stable, pure solid minerals.
