The early strength, microstructure, and structure of cement mortar under low-temperature curing conditions were investigated through compressive strength tests, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, synchronous thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry), and nuclear magnetic resonance tests. The study focused on the impact of the single addition of nano-activated CaCO3 (NAC) and the simultaneous addition of metakaolin (MK) on cement mortar. The results indicate that the addition of NAC accelerated the early hydration of cement. At a 1% dosage, the compressive strength increased by 6.84%, 14.77%, and 18.58% at 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days, respectively. When 5% MK was co-added, the compressive strength increased by 15.16%, 27.85%, and 21.66% at 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days, respectively. The combination of NAC and MK accelerated the hydration of cement, refined the products, reduced the porosity, improved the microstructure, and enhanced the early compressive strength of cement-based materials.
