“…In macroscopic structures, such forces produce significant volumetric expansion that usually ends up cracking and crumbling the material 1,2,6,8,10,11,[43][44][45][46] . Several solutions have been designed towards preventing such damages by hampering MgO hydroxylation 2,7,12,32,45 , changing the morphology of its products 10,[30][31][32]43,46,47 , or generating a surrounding microstructure for accommodating the extra volume produced 6,8,9,43,44,48 .…”
