A novel, green, and economic CaCO 3 synthesis method using a CO 2 -storage material (CO 2 SM) was developed based on the strategy of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). In this process, CO 2 SM was used as both a CO 2 source and a crystal modifier to regulate and control the crystallization of CaCO 3 . 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) and/or 1,2-ethanediamine (EDA) from CO 2 SM played unexpected roles as a surfactant, structure-directing agent, and/or pH modulator. The effects of CO 2 SM concentrations, reaction temperatures, and reaction times were systematically investigated. Pure calcite (bundle-like and dumbbell-like) and pure vaterite (oblate spheroid and snowball-like) CaCO 3 products were obtained. Moreover, the CO 2 SM was recycled to prepare same crystal phase CaCO 3 upon the addition of an appropriate amount of Ca(OH) 2 with 120 g•L −1 CO 2 SM concentration.
