Growth mechanism of the prismatic-type CaCO3-SF thin films. a Three SEM images show growing overlayers different in thickness. b Phase-field simulation of a growing overlayer depicting the temporal evolutions of the film morphology with crystal anisotropy of (2\(\bar 1\)1), (300), and (113) planes. c Three snapshots showing the contents of (2\(\bar 1\)1), (300), and (113) planes against the mineralization time, where the three planes are illustrated with the light blue, yellow, and dark gray colors, respectively
