摘要
氢的吸收和释放是储氢材料的关键参数。晶格应变提供了一种调节金属纳米颗粒中氢化物形成的有效方法。然而,应变对氢化物形成的作用很难在单个纳米颗粒水平上评估,因为缺乏原位表征工具来量化气体存在下的应变。在这里,我们通过应用4D扫描透射电子显微镜(4D- stem)在1 bar H2存在下实现了单个钯纳米立方中可逆氢化物形成的动态原位研究,并以亚纳米分辨率定量评估了晶格应变。在125℃氢化物形成时,Pd晶格膨胀约3.1%,并在200℃氢解吸时松弛。我们的原位4D-STEM方法与广泛的纳米颗粒系统和应用相关,包括催化剂和气敏材料。
In Situ Gas-Phase 4D-STEM for Strain Mapping during Hydride Formation in Palladium Nanocubes
The uptake and release of hydrogen are key parameters for hydrogen storage materials. Lattice strain offers a powerful way to tune hydride formation in metal nanoparticles. However, the role of strain on hydride formation is difficult to assess on a single nanoparticle level due to the lack of in situ characterization tools to quantify strain in the presence of a gas. Here, we achieve a dynamic, in situ study on the reversible hydride formation in individual palladium nanocubes by applying 4D scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) in the presence of 1 bar H2 and quantitatively assess the lattice strain with subnanometer resolution. Upon hydride formation at 125 °C, the Pd lattice expands by ∼3.1% and relaxes back upon hydrogen desorption at 200 °C. Our in situ 4D-STEM approach is relevant to a wide range of nanoparticle systems and applications, including catalyst- and gas-sensing materials.
