3D Characterization of Nanomaterials under Relevant Conditions by Electron Tomography

【Abstract】

Electron tomography enables one to measure the morphology and composition of nanostructures in three dimensions (3D), even at atomic resolution. However, an emerging challenge is to fully understand the connection between the 3D structure and properties under realistic conditions, including high temperatures as well as in the presence of liquids and gases.

電子斷層掃描使人們能夠在三維（3D）中測量納米結構的形態和組成，甚至能達到原子級的分辨率。然而，在現實中面臨新的挑戰，譬如，如何在高溫以及存在液體和氣體的情況下，充分理解3D結構和性能之間的關系。

Our recent experiments demonstrate the progress that can be obtained by accelerating both the acquisition and reconstruction during electron tomography. In this manner, we were able to perform a dynamic characterisation of shape changes of metal nanoparticles at high temperatures. Moreover, we measured the elemental diffusion dynamics of individual anisotropic bimetallic nanoparticles in 3D and determined the effect of parameters such as type of interfacial facets, aspect ratio, shape and presence of defects.

我們最近的實驗證明了在電子斷層掃描過程中通過加快采集和重建速度的方式可以突破這一挑戰。通過這種方式，我們能夠對金屬納米顆粒在高溫下的形狀變化進行動態表征。此外，在三維空間中測量了單個各向異性雙金屬納米顆粒的元素擴散動力學，并確定了界面刻面類型、縱橫比、形狀和缺陷存在等參數的影響。

Finally, by combining aberration corrected electron microscopy with a quantitative interpretation, we can provide quantitative measurements of the coordination numbers of the surface atoms of catalytic nanoparticles at high temperatures and in gaseous environments.

最后，通過將像差校正電子顯微鏡與定量解釋相結合，我們可以對高溫和氣體環境下催化納米顆粒的表面原子配位數進行定量測量。
