Have you ever wanted to watch nanomaterials grow in real time, in liquid, and at different temperatures? Temperature plays a key role in nanomaterial synthesis, controlling nucleation and growth rates that define particle size, shape, and uniformity.
In a recent Microscopy Today article, researchers used the Triton AX system to observe gold nanoparticle growth in situ at different temperatures. At 5 °C, growth was slower and yielded smoother particles, while at 45 °C, growth accelerated rapidly—producing sharper, more faceted structures that quickly filled the field of view.
With the Triton AX, researchers can now directly observe how temperature influences nanoparticle formation in liquid, with precise control from –50 °C to 300 °C—the broadest thermal range available in any LCTEM system.
