Abstract Scope |
Electron tomography (ET) is an important characterization tool for the investigation of catalytic alloy nanoparticles because their properties depends on morphological and structural factors; their size, shapes, surface compositions, segregation patterns and so on. Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging and recent progress of tomographic reconstruction algorism such as a generalized Fourier iterative reconstruction (GENFIRE) developed by A. Pryor Jr. et al. has enabled atomic-resolution tomographic reconstruction of metal nanoparticles. In this study, we applied atomic-resolution ET on 3D structural analysis of multiple twined Pt-Ru alloy nanoparticles which is a promising anode catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells. The GENFIRE reconstructions from 45 STEM images of the nanoparticles reveals 3D segregated element distributions and multiple twined structure with {111} twin boundary. The resolution of the reconstructed images varied with direction due to missing-wedge artifacts from limited angle reconstruction and diffraction contrasts in STEM images. |
