The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Concrete material science: Past, present, and future innovations (2018, background): “This can be achieved by the introduction of nucleation seeds in the interstitial solution, as it was already suggested some decades ago, essentially to accelerate setting and hardening [165], and investigated later for more fundamental purposes [166,167].”
Cement and Concrete Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2010, methodology): “Synthetic C-S-H has also been used as seeding agent during the hydration of cement phases [85].”
Structure, Fractality, Mechanics and Durability of Calcium Silicate Hydrates (2021, background): “added C-S-H seeds during the hydration process of C3S paste; the results showed that C-S-H seeds could significantly increase the dissolution rate and degree of dissolution of C3S particles and promoted the polymerization of C-S-H and silicate [32].”
Modification effects of colloidal nanoSiO2 on cement hydration and its gel property (2013, background): “[12], the latter of which shows a faster formation of new hydrates but no prior step of nucleus formation.”
A review on the properties, reinforcing effects, and commercialization of nanomaterials for cement-based materials (2020, methodology): “Nano-C-S-H gel is a new type of nanomaterial developed in recent years, and it was reported that the synthetic C-S-H can significantly promote the hydration of C3S in cement [70,71,121].”
