Discover the Hidden World of Nanoparticles in Action
Researcher: Dr. Xingli Wang, Technische Universität Berlin, Technische Chemie / Elektrokatalyse - Materialien
Measuring facility: ZELMI: Center for Electron Microscopy (TU Berlin) and Institute of Optics and Atomic Physics, Electron- and Ion-Nanooptics (TU Berlin)
At the forefront of scientific innovation, Dr. Wang focuses on the development of in situ electrochemical liquid-cell (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (LC-(S)TEM). This advanced characterization technique provides an unprecedented window into the real-time interfacial dynamics of electrochemical reactions, material growth, and degradation processes at solid-liquid interfaces, bridging knowledge gaps across multiple spatiotemporal scales. LC-(S)TEM thereby offers insights that help design better electrocatalytic interfaces.
Imagine "watching nanoparticles in action" as they interact dynamically with fluids, respond to heat, or react under electricity. These processes, once invisible, are now revealed with extraordinary precision, enabling a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern energy materials' performance and stability.
Dr. Wang's groundbreaking research is transforming the field of materials science, driving innovations in sustainable energy solutions such as next-generation electrolyzers, fuel cells, and catalysts. Through the collaboration with Center for Electron Microscopy (ZELMI) at TU Berlin and AK Lehmann, advanced microscopes play a pivotal role in enabling these discoveries. Together, these efforts pave the way for transformative technologies, fostering a greener and more efficient future.
