SubsidieMeestersDeveloping a scalable production route for functional high performance in-situ TEM cells
This project aims to enhance in-situ gas cell TEM by scaling up a novel design to improve imaging and analysis of nanomaterials, benefiting sustainable energy, healthcare, and communication technologies.
Projectdetails
Introduction
This project aims to revolutionize in-situ gas cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) by scaling up the novel in-situ cells that have been pioneered in the EvoluTEM Starting grant.
Problem Statement
Traditional commercially available gas cells limit TEM imaging resolution and spectroscopy due to significant electron scattering.
Project Background
The EvoluTEM project has demonstrated a proof of principle cell design which reduces the electron scattering and hence provides opportunities for TEM experiments with greatly improved imaging of atomic structure and spectral analysis of local changes in oxidation state or elemental distribution.
Objectives
This research project will:
- Scale up the gas cell fabrication process.
- Validate its performance in key applications.
- Ensure its compatibility with commercial TEM in-situ holder systems.
Overall Aim
The overall aim of this project is to provide the wider scientific and industrial TEM community with environmental cells that provide a step change in the performance of their existing in-situ technology.
Significance
This will be vital for improved understanding of nanomaterials and catalysts under relevant environmental conditions, thereby accelerating the development of improved materials for applications such as:
- Sustainable energy generation
- Healthcare
- New communication technologies
