Abstract

Picture perfect: Information about the local topologies of active sites on commercial nanoparticles can be gained with atomic resolution through spherical-aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A powder of Pt nanoparticles on carbon black was examined with two advanced TEM techniques based on recent developments in hardware (aberration correction) and computation (exit wavefunction restoration). (Figure Presented).
