Molecular-Scale Regulation of Mg(OH)2 Morphology and Hydration Kinetics via Steric Engineering of Carboxylate Anions

Abstract The hydration of magnesium oxide (MgO) to brucite-type Mg(OH)2 is the fundamental reaction governing strength development, microstructure evolution, and reactivity in MgO-based low-carbon cement systems. However, this process is strongly influenced by the poorly understo...
