Tuesday publication update! In this newest research written by @TomWelling, the #AtmosphereAX system was used to track carbon nanofiber growth from NiCu-catalyzed methane decomposition under true working conditions. By directly comparing real-time overall carbon growth rates in a reactor (measured gravimetrically) with nanometer-scale carbon growth observations (by electron microscopy), the ex-situ and in-situ results can … Read More
An additional Friday publication update! Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are the future of optoelectronic devices, thanks to their unique physical properties. Yet, the synthesis of MAPI perovskites via ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) has so far not been researched. In this groundbreaking study, advanced in-situ techniques were done with the #PoseidonAX and the #Atmosphere system to demystify … Read More
Tuesday publication update! In this latest research by the group of @Petra de Jongh, and written by @Nienke Visser, the #Atmosphere system was used to investigate supported metal catalysts, aiming to unlock the secrets of nanoparticle growth and enhance their longevity. ️ Using in situ gas-phase transmission electron microscopy, the group achieved real-time visualization of … Read More
Tuesday publication update! Oxygen reduction reactions are of particular interest in research to fuel cell cathodes. In this paper, the catalytic performance of platinum alloy nanoparticles is investigated using the #AtmosphereAX system at atomic resultion in an electron microscope. Initial segregation of a thin platinum, rather than cobalt oxide, surface layer is observed while the … Read More
Tuesday publication update! In this newest publication the authors use the radiolytic oxidation of Ce3+ in aqueous solution as a model reaction, shedding light on the formation of CeO2 particles using in-situ LP-EM with our #PoseidonAX system. The effects of varying irradiation dose rates was researched together with the resulting diffusion of Ce ions on … Read More

Have you ever wanted to look at atomic resolution images of phase transformations in the TEM? This paper shows in situ atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy using our #FusionAX system, in a Pt−Sn system. Heating the sample up showed showing the initial stages of the PtSn4 to PtSn2 phase transitions. In the video you can … Read More
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
Tuesday publication update! In this exciting new publication from the Universitée de Rouen Normandie the authors are looking at zeolite particle reformation under atmosphere. Addition of CO2 and various temperatures changes the response of the nanocrystals. Moreover, EDS analysis was performed to observe how the CO2 interactions with the crystals. The combination of experimental work … Read More
