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

Unraveling anisotropic and pulsating etching of ZnO nanorods in hydrochloric acid via correlative electron microscopy

An additional Friday publication update! Controlled etching behavior is extremely important to be able to create crystal solids with defined structures and functions. In this newest publication, in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy was used to oberserve the dynamic behavior during the pencil shape evolution of a single crystal ZnO nanorod in aqueous hydrochloric … Read More

Atomistic Insights into the Nucleation and Growth of Platinum on Palladium Nanocrystals

Additional Friday publication update! In this Nature Communications publication, in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy, using the #PoseidonAX, was used to find the atomistic details during the nucleation and growth of Pd@Pt nanocubes. Various parameters were investigated, such as colloidal capping agents and the precursor concentration. Obtaining atomistic real-time information on the growth of colloids … Read More
