Additional Friday publication post! 📖 In this newest work published by Cornell University in collaboration with Protochips, Sungin Kim under the supervision of Prof. Yao Yang has published the first paper using the TritonAX system!
By combining electrochemical control, heating, and cooling in liquid environments, researchers show a completely new way to explore nanoscale processes across a wide temperature range (−50 °C to 300 °C).
With Triton AX, the team was able to:
⚡ Perform quantitative electrochemistry under realistic, extreme conditions
🔥❄️Directly visualize Cu electrodeposition and stripping from cold to hot environments
🔬Apply machine learning–assisted 4D-STEM analysis to reveal how nanoscale copper islands evolve into dendrites
Understanding electrochemistry in action — at the atomic scale and under operando conditions — is critical for advancing renewable energy materials like catalysts and batteries that must perform in diverse climates.
In the video we can see the results of operando 4D-STEM diffraction imaging in liquids at −40 °C on the Cu dendrites that were formed.
