Attachment of iron oxide nanoparticles to carbon nanofibers studies by in situ liquid phase transmission electron microscopy

In this publication from the #UniversityUtrecht and #UniversitéeParisCité the authors have looked at the fabrication of Fischer-Tropsch catalysts using the #PoseidonAX system. Iron oxide nanoparticles were flown through the tubings of the liquid cell holder and then subsequently attached to carbon nanofibers. The differences between oxidized and pristine carbon nanofibers was investigated, and it was found that the surface groups heavily influence the amount of particles attaching.
