abstract = {Photochemical activation is proposed as a general
method for controlling the crystallization of sparingly
soluble carbonates in space and time. The photogeneration
of carbonate in an alkaline environment is achieved upon
photo-decarboxylation of an organic precursor by using a
conventional 365 nm UV LED. Local irradiation was conducted
focusing the LED light on a 300 μm radius spot on a
closed glass crystallization cell. The precursor solution was
optimized to avoid the precipitation of the photoreaction
organic byproducts and prevent photo-induced pH changes
to achieve the formation of calcium carbonate only in the
corresponding irradiated area. The crystallization was
monitored in real-time by time-lapse imaging. The method
is also shown to work in gels. Similarly, it was also shown to
photo-activate locally the formation of barium carbonate
biomorphs. In the last case, the morphology of these
biomimetic structures was tuned by changing the irradiation
intensity.},
