In summary, we explored the effect of halogen-terminated SAMs on CaCO3 nucleation. Based on CNT, we quantified the nucleation thermodynamic and kinetic parameters to assess the nucleation potential on various halogen-terminated SAMs. The results showed that both the nucleation barrier and kinetic driving force controlled the nucleation rate, with either one being the dominant role depending on the supersaturation range. Furthermore, we revealed that the surface free energy or substrate-liquid interaction was the primary factor controlling CaCO3 nucleation barrier on various halogen-terminated SAMs. To our knowledge, this is the first study to control CaCO3 nucleation with halogen chemistry surfaces and reveal the mechanism underlying the control effect on nucleation rate/barrier, enriching our understanding of the structure-activity relationship of SAMs in controlling CaCO3 nucleation and providing a simple approach for effectively controlling CaCO3 nucleation.
