Probing dynamics of supported Pt and Pd catalysts through scale bridging analytical in situ scanning and transmission electron microscopy (A06)

• Subject Area: Technical Chemistry
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 426888090

The aim of project A06 is to investigate dynamic processes of individual and collective nanoparticle/substrate interactions as a function of synthesis and process conditions, temperature and chemical environment. Complementary to the other electron microscopy projects in the CRC1441, project A06 combines the analytical in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy with transmission electron microscopy and thus expands the scale bridging approach by closing the gap between the nano- and mesoscale. This new methodological concept thus inter-links the collaborative efforts of projects A03, A05, B01 and B03 with those of C03 across different length scales.
