In Liquid Observation and Quantification of Nucleation and Growth of Gold Nanostructures Using in Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy

In situ liquid transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful technique for observing nanoscale processes in their native liquid environment and in real time. However, the imaging electron beam can have major interferences with the processes under study, altering the experimental outcome. Here, we use in situ liquid TEM to understand the differences between beam-induced and electrodeposition processes that result in nucleation and growth …
