Tracking the atomic pathways by in-situ liquid cell TEM

Using the in-situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy, the three-stage growth of Pt3Ni-Ni(OH)2 core-shell structures at the gas-liquid interfaces was clearly observed. Researchers also further observed the nucleation and growth of the Ni(OH)2 flakes on an existing layer either at the middle part or at the step edge. More interestingly, the dynamic transformation among a Pt3Ni alloy, Ni clusters and Ni(OH)2 flakes was also imaged even at a high electron dose rate.
