Goethite mineral dissolution to probe the chemistry of radiolytic water in liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy

In this recent publication, the authors have used liquid phase electron microscopy to observe the dynamic behavior of geothite during dissolution under the irradiation of the electron beam. Kinetic simulations of the different radiolysis species provides insight into the redox and acidity of the liquid during the exposure to the beam. These interactions are very … Read More

Degratation Mechanisms of Supported Pt Nanocatalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: An Operando Study through Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

In this publication, the authors have researched a typical platinum fuel cell at nanometer scale, using the #PoseidonAX system with electrochemistry. The 3 nm platinum on carbon particles were observed after a large amount of CV cycles in which the particles grew over time. The growth was followed using in situ liquid phase electron microscopy. … Read More

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 … Read More

Electric Field-Induced Water Condensation Visualized by Vapor Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy

Tuesday publication update! Have you ever thought about using a liquid cell for a vapor phase microscopy experiment? This new publication has! @Taylor Woehl at the University of Maryland has investigated the nucleation, growth, and evaporation of nanoscale sessile drops using vapor phase TEM (VPTEM) with the #PoseidonSelect. Nanoscale water condensation dynamics in strong electric … Read More

Metastable Hexagonal Close-Packed Palladium Hydride in Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

New Tuesday publication! In this publication featured in Nature, our #PoseidonSelect was used to look at crystals grown from high-energy precursors. Most of the time, these adopt metastable structures depending on the initial conditions, such as temperature, pressure or crystal size. With the unique environment created in the liquid cell, the formation of a hcp … Read More
