The moment of initial crystallization captured on functionalized nanoparticles

The moment of initial crystallization captured on functionalized nanoparticles

Understanding the mechanism of supercooling suppression by crystallization seeds is important for designing semiclathrate hydrates for latent heat storage materials. Here, we show that 10-30 nm cluster formation around silver nanoparticles promotes crystallization of supercooled aqueous solutions.
