In this work, we have synthesised a mixture consisting of sodium calcium silicate and calcium silicate nanostructures in the presence and absence of the hydrothermal method. The synthesised products were identified utilising many techniques such as XRD, EDS, FT-IR, HR-TEM, and FE-SEM. The XRD demons...
