In Situ Observations of Barium Sulfate Nucleation in Nanopores

Abstract: The nucleation and growth of barium sulfate in nanoporous silica was investigated using in situ small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray pair distribution function analysis, together with ex situ transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM and STEM) imaging. We found that crystalline barite formation in micropores is likely preceded by a nonbulk barite phase in the nanopores, indicating a possible nonclassical nucleation pathway for barium sulfate under confinement. The nucleation of barium s… Show more

“…Of interest regarding efforts to obtain nucleation and growth rates is a 2022 report from Brady et al in which they investigate the formation of (BaSO 4 ) n on nanopores via X-ray scattering and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis (as well as ex situ TEM/STEM imaging). Those authors report the fraction of pore volume filled as a function of time, but then fit with the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) semi-empirical equation, through which nucleation and growth rates of 10 9 nuclei m –2 s –1 and 10 –7 mol m –2 s –1 , respectively, were obtained.…”

Assumptions were necessary to obtain these estimates, including that the assumption that the nucleation rate will dominate growth and the assumption that the nucleus size is equal to the pore size (2.38 nm) or that the particle size at the end is 20 nm, neither of which is supported experimentally.…”
