XRD pattern and low-resolution TEM characterization of the synthesized Ca-MDP salt. (a) Powder-XRD pattern from 2° to 15° 2θ showing the three characteristic peaks at 2θ = 2.7° (d = 3.27 nm), 5.2° (d = 1.66 nm), and 7.6° (d = 1.1 nm). (b) Representative high-magnification TEM photomicrographs for characterization of Ca-MDP nanolayering formed by drop casting over the Lacey carbon coat of the TEM grid. (c) High magnification of the area highlighted in the yellow square in panel ‘b’ showing the characteristic Ca-MDP nanolayering. (d) Schematic representation of the 10-MDP molecule.
