Alumina nanoparticle-induced decarbonation at subduction-zone conditions
strongly regulates calcium carbonate stability in subduction-zone environments, driven by ultrahigh specific surface areas and elevated defect densities inherent to nanoparticles. This work fundamentally revises the current understanding of the spatiotemporal distribution of decarbonation in this region, yielding a pattern of shallower, more heterogeneous carbon release.
