Here we report the in vitro biomineralization of SrCO3 complex nanostructures obtained usin(g) glucosan as the modifier in dimethyl formamide (DMF)-deionized water (DIW) mixed solvents. Rod-, dendrite-, dumbbell-, and sphere-like SrCO3 nanostructures were achieved by tuning the volume ratios of DMF/ DIW, reaction time, and concentrations. The phase, structure, and morphology of the as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The possible formation mechanism of SrCO3 complex nanostructures follows the rod-dumbbell-sphere growth process. The as-synthesized SrCO3 complex nanostructures show excellent adsorption properties and superhydrophobicity, which may open up a wide range of potential applications in environmental protection.
