| Abstract Scope |
There is a wide range of materials that had been characterized by a variety of methods that unfortunately have reached their limit of detection. Aberration corrected electron microscopy, on the other hand, has been the only solution capable of unfolding unique characteristics, the understanding and the nature of some of those materials. Some examples that will be presented include: quantum materials, materials for batteries, morphed graphene, advanced ceramics (TiO2‐CoTiO3), bio-materials, and composites. In all cases those materials were investigated by other characterization techniques, but the conclusive results were always possible using aberration corrected transmission electron microscopy. Most of those materials were synthesized by a variety of methods that are key considered technological advancements with the aim to produce pristine materials for advanced applications, particularly for sustainable
systems. Both, the synthesis methods and applications are not only innovative, but green, simple and scalable to industrial set‐ups. The electron microscopy presented herein includes techniques that reach sub‐nnometer resolution (e.g., 0.1-0.046 nm). Due to the characterization potential of this electron microscopy techniques we were able to unfold paradigms that some were theoretical or unknown. The microscopy techniques that we use include: low dose, 4D-STEM, focal series, tomography, etc. |
