Tuesday publication update! 📖 Have you ever wanted to see how nanomaterials behave under extreme conditions? Josephine Rezkallah, Xavier Sauvage, Bernhard Witulski and Simona Moldovan from the #UniversiteeRouenNormandie used the #AtmosphereAX system to investigated the real-time thermal evolution of hollow Pt nanospheres (HNSs) in both vacuum and 1 bar in situ hydrogen environments.
What did the authors observe?
🔥 They captured dynamic structural changes of Pt HNSs under heating
🔬 Observed shell formation and eventual collapse at temperatures >500°C
📈 Unraveled nanoparticle faceting, diffusion, and microstructural transformations
⚛️ Provided 3D insights using electron tomography (ET) to map complex shell architectures
By visualizing nanomaterial behavior at atomic resolution, it is possible to get more insight into catalytic particle behavior, and therefore create more effective catalysts for future applications!
