Abstract

We explore the use of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as a silica source for the formation of carbon ate-silica composite materials known as 'biomorphs'. The basic hydrolysis of TEOS furnishes silica in a controllable fashion, allowing a significantly higher reproducibility of the obtained silica-barium and silica-strontium carbonate co-precipitates compared to commercial water glass silica used so far. We further discuss the influence of ethanol used as a co-solvent on the morphologies of biomorphs, which are examined by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).
