Highly ordered superstructures composed of inorganic nanoparticles appear in natural and synthetic systems, however the mechanisms of non-equilibrium self-organization that may be involved are still poorly understood. Herein, we performed a kinetic investigation of the precipitation of calcium phosphate using a process widely found in microorganisms: the hydrolysis of urea by enzyme urease. With high initial ratio of calcium ion to phosphate, periodic precipitation was obtained accompanied by pH ...[more]
