HRTEM can provide a wealth of information including:
Atomic Structure: Detailed images of the atomic arrangement in catalysts. Defects: Identification of defects and dislocations that can affect catalytic performance. Particle Size and Shape: Measurement of nanoparticles, which is crucial for understanding their catalytic properties. Interface Analysis: Observation of the interfaces between different phases or materials, which can influence catalytic behavior. Elemental Composition: Combined with techniques like Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), HRTEM can provide compositional analysis at the atomic scale.
