The First Heating & Cooling Liquid Electrochemical Cell
for TEM
for TEM
Triton AX is the world's first system to enable simultaneous in situ electrochemical analysis at temperatures ranging from -50 °C to 300 °C. The temperature is completely user-definable to provide precise control over experimental conditions. Applying temperature to electrochemical studies brings to life three key workflows:
1) Generate the relevant operating conditions of a material to study structure-function relationships that affect performance at the bulk scale.
2) Control the kinetics of a reaction to speed up or slow down processes that are otherwise difficult to study due to their speed.
3) Mitigate the effects of the electron beam for beam-sensitive materials.
Triton AX is part of a complete solution of tools for every step of the scientific workflow from sample preparation to reporting results. With the incorporation of Protochips' patented AXON software platform (AXON Synchronicity) the efficiency and productivity of the researcher is increased for all experience levels. The Triton AX solution enables the capture of high quality, impactful data with fewer iterations, and streamlines the processing of large, multi-stream datasets, like those coming from temperature-controlled electrochemical experiments. Triton AX will push performance, productivity, and discovery to exponentially high levels for your lab.

Copper Dendrite Formation at 5 °C
STEM micrograph and cyclic voltammetry curve of Pt working electrode with copper plating layer at 5 °C. Dendrite morphology, kinetics, and current measurements differ significantly (smaller, slower, and lower, respectively) from those at higher temperatures (below). The inset shows the CV curve with a smaller Y-axis, demonstrating that even without visual changes, there is still a reaction occurring. The near-freezing temperature has slowed the reaction down significantly.

Copper Dendrite Formation at 98 °C
STEM micrograph and cyclic voltammetry curve of Pt working electrode with copper plating layer at 98 °C. Dendrite morphology, kinetics, and current measurements differ significantly (larger, faster, and higher, respectively) from those at lower temperatures (above).

TEM Processing Software: AXON Studio
AXON Studio is an intuitive processing software for managing, reviewing, analyzing and publishing TEM images and metadata in your office or workspace. The software can be downloaded free of charge and operates by linking the TEM and in situ data to your images. AXON Studio can be used to plot, filter and publish videos, images and raw data. The AXON Studio software works hand-in-hand with the AXON Synchronicity TEM software which is linked to the microscope. This together forms the AXON platform.
