Abstract

Even though, nanoscale materials of various shapes and compositions have been synthesized in the liquid, their underlying growth and transformation mechanisms are not well understood due to a lack of analytical methods. The advent of liquid cell for transmission electron microscope (TEM) enables the direct imaging of chemical reactions that occur in liquids with nanometer resolution of the electron microscope (EM). Here, the technical development of liquid cell TEM equipment and their applications to the study of nanomaterials analysis in liquid are discussed. Also new findings discovered through liquid cell TEM studies such as nucleation & growth, coalescence process and transformation are discussed.
